Effect of chronic exposure to microplastic fibre ingestion in the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Microplastics (MPs) in the form of microfibres (MFs) are of great concern because of their size and increasing abundance, which increase their potential to interact with or be ingested by aquatic organisms.

Swing Regulates Movement Direction in the Sea Cucumber Apostichopus japonicus in the Presence of Food Cue: New Insights into Movement Patterns

Animals, 2023
Regulating movement direction is essential in the locomotion of animals. Sea cucumbers, as eyeless animals, do not have eyes for the perception of the surrounding environment and food.

Artificial Reefs Reduce Morbidity and Mortality of Small Cultured Sea Cucumbers Apostichopus japonicus at High Temperature

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Summer mortality and morbidity are serious environment-related problems in cultured sea cucumbers (Apostichopus japonicus). Air exposure probably worsens the impact of high temperature on cultured sea cucumbers.

Aquatic Antagonists: Sea Cucumbers (Holothuroidea) [PDF]

Cutis, 2021
Sea cucumbers are sausage-shaped aquatic creatures living on the ocean floors across the world. They are considered a food delicacy in many countries but also are known to have many beneficial pharmaceutical properties; however, sea cucumbers also contain a dangerous component called holothurin, which has been shown to have a negative impact on the ...

A Review of Factors Influencing the Seagrass-Sea Cucumber Association in Tropical Seagrass Meadows

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
In the tropical ecosystem, sea cucumbers are associated with seagrass meadows in various ways, often forming a network of ecological interactions. From this myriad of interactions, the trophic relationship between the seagrasses and sea cucumbers has ...

Exploring Biofouling Control by the California Sea Cucumber (Apostichopus californicus) in Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) with Organic Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Fishes, 2023
The growth of biofouling on aquaculture infrastructure is a universal challenge. Standard industry practices to remove biofouling in finfish aquaculture typically include in situ net cleaning via power washing.
