Reproductive Biology of the Sea Cucumber Holothuria mammata (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea)

Eliana Venancio et al.

Summary: The study aims to describe the reproductive cycle of Holothuria mammata in a coastal area of southwest Portugal. The research found that H. mammata had a sex ratio of 1:1.2 (male:female) and a size at first maturity of 142 mm for males and 167 mm for females. Gonad development started when days had a shorter photoperiod and lower seawater temperature, and spawning occurred later, with longer photoperiod and higher seawater temperature and chlorophyll-a concentrations. This study is essential to increase the biological and ecological knowledge of H. mammata populations and create conditions for their domestication and conservation measures.

Ecological and reproductive characteristics of holothuroids Isostichopus badionotus and Isostichopus sp. in Colombia

Ernesto J. Acosta et al.

Summary: The study revealed that both Isostichopus sp. and I. badionotus have annual reproductive cycles, with a reproductive season from September to November, and they exhibit a unimodal distribution in terms of population structure. Significant differences were found in size, weight, and habitat preferences between Isostichopus sp. and I. badionotus.

Allometric relationships to assess ontogenetic adaptative changes in three NE Atlantic commercial sea cucumbers (Echinodermata, Holothuroidea)

F. Silva et al.

Summary: The study estimated and compared the allometric relationships of Holothuria arguinensis, Holothuria mammata, and Holothuria forskali, revealing their negative allometric growth. The different growth strategies and regional intraspecific growth strategies observed suggest ontogenetic adaptation as a consequence of external factors.

Sea cucumber fishery in Turkey: Management regulations and their efficiency

Hakki Dereli et al.

Summary: Sea cucumbers in the Mediterranean coast of Turkey have a significant commercial importance, but are facing issues of over-exploitation and illegal fishing. Despite the implementation of fishery regulations, illegal activities have remained a challenge. New regulations based on quotas and increased fines have shown some effectiveness in reducing the number of infringements.
