Identification of Sea Cucumber Holothuria (Lessonothuria) Pardalis (Selenka, 1867) and Holothuria (Semperothuria) Cinerascens (Brandt, 1835) (Family-Holothuriidae) based on Morphological and Mitochondrial DNA Evidence and Phylogenetic Analysis from Karachi Coast, Pakistan

International Journal of Environment and Geoinformatics, 2021
The conventional taxonomy on sea cucumbers is challenging due to their morphological complexity. Molecular investigation of the class Holothuroidea was initiated for further clarity regarding the systematics and taxonomy of this class.

Widespread decline in the abundance of sea cucumber assemblages in atolls of the protected Rowley Shoals, northwestern Australia

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract The Rowley Shoals, off northwestern Australia, are renowned as a biodiversity hotspot. This remote system comprises three atolls, Clerke, Imperieuse and Mermaid, which in recent years have been increasingly targeted by illegal fishing, a pressure rising across the Indo‐Pacific.

Exploring the Antiparasitic Activity of the Sea Cucumber Isostichopus sp. aff. badionotus From the Northern Coast of Colombia Against Trypanosoma cruzi

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, remains a neglected tropical infection with limited therapeutic options. Sea cucumbers are recognized as rich sources of bioactive sulfated metabolites with potential antiparasitic properties; however, information on the chemistry and trypanocidal activity of Caribbean Isostichopus species is still scarce ...

Larval development in the apodid sea cucumber Chiridota gigas, with a focus on coelom development and the serotonergic nervous system during metamorphosis

Invertebrate Biology, Volume 143, Issue 2, June 2024.
Abstract A unifying feature of echinoderm larvae is the development of a left anterior coelom, which consists of an undivided left axocoel and hydrocoel. Although the axocoel is a key deuterostome trait, the presence of this coelom in holothurians has been the subject of debate.
