The Sea of Japan is a semi‐enclosed marginal sea in the northwestern Pacific whose bathyal communities exhibit a depauperate species diversity due to anoxic events during the last glacial maximum. Cold seeps associated with chemosynthetic ecosystems were discovered in this region over three decades ago, yet their fauna have not been characterised. Here,

European black sea cucumber (Holothuria forskali) used in bioaccumulation and depuration trials after ingesting salmon pellets treated with veterinary therapeutants emamectin benzoate and oxytetracycline. The study provides the first kinetic data for these veterinary residues in this species, supporting responsible integration of deposit‐feeders into ...

Holothurians – potential biomonitors for metal levels in deep-sea sediments
Levels of cadmium, copper, aluminium, iron, manganese and zinc (Cd, Cu, Al, Fe, Mn and Zn) in deep-sea sediments and sediment-feeding holothurians are reported. Profiles of metals were found to vary with depth in the sediment.

The effect of diet on the growth and energy budget of juvenile Neostichopus grammatus
ABSTRACT Providing optimum energy levels in diets for sea cucumbers is essential, as an excess or inadequate energy level can lead to a reduced growth rate. This study investigated the effect of diets on the growth and energy budget of juvenile sea cucumber Neostichopus grammatus for twelve weeks.

Population trends of remote invertebrate resources in a marine reserve: Trochus and holothurians at Ashmore Reef [PDF]
Marine protected areas (MPAs) have a high capacity to protect fish and invertebrate resources, given adequate surveillance and enforcement. Ashmore Reef National Nature Reserve (Ashmore Reef) was closed to commercial fishing and harvesting of ...

Structural diversity of triterpene glycosides produced by sea cucumbers or holothurians (Holothuroidea, Echinodermata) is extremely high, although all of them are either lanostane derivatives or, rarely, products of their molecular rearrangements.

Biological surveys reveal unexpectedly high faunal diversity at Nankai Trough methane seeps
Abstract Cold seeps are chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems powered by microbial primary production that support diverse and specialized faunal assemblages in the deep sea. Despite Nankai Trough in Japan being a geologically active margin hosting numerous seeps, much of the faunal diversity remains undocumented.

The cell density-dependent mechanism, quorum sensing (QS), regulates the expression of virulence factors. Its inhibition has been proposed as a promising new strategy to prevent bacterial pathogenicity.

Jurassic jeopardy—life and death on an ancient seafloor
The Lower Jurassic Down Cliff Sand Member of the Dorset coast, southern England, is a rich source of marine invertebrate fossils. Among these are echinoderms and less common arthropods. Despite having multi‐component skeletons that are prone to disarticulation, remains of some of these are remarkably complete.
