Qualitative and Quantitative Saponin Contents in Five Sea Cucumbers from the Indian Ocean
Marine Drugs, 2010 To avoid predation, holothuroids produce feeding-deterrent molecules in their body wall and viscera, the so-called saponins. Five tropical sea cucumber species of the family Holothuriidae were investigated in order to study their saponin content in two ...

Holothuria leucospilota Population in Satang Besar Island, Sarawak, Malaysia
International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Holothuria leucospilota or locally known as “Patola” is currently considered the most abundant sea cucumber species in Malaysia. This coral reef‐dwelling species is not in danger of extinction in comparison to commercial sea cucumbers such as “gamat.” However, overfishing activities in addition to lack of fishing regulations in Malaysia could put this ...

Asexual Reproduction in Holothurians
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Aspects of asexual reproduction in holothurians are discussed. Holothurians are significant as fishery and aquaculture items and have high commercial value. The last review on holothurian asexual reproduction was published 18 years ago and included only 8 species.

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 The stone fish (Actinopyga lecanora) ethanolic and methanolic tissue extracts were investigated for total phenolic contents (TPCs) as well as antioxidant activity using 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. Both extracts showed low amount of phenolics (20.33 to 17.03 mg of
