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 ...

Sea cucumbers in a pickle: the economic geography of the serial exploitation of sea cucumbers [PDF]
Ecology and Society, 2019 Serial exploitation comprises a pattern of the human exploitation of wild harvest fisheries, where previously untapped species or locations come under exploitation over both space and time. Unless managed sustainably, serial exploitation can lead to serial depletion of local fisheries, thereby adversely affecting local ecosystems, economies, and ...
