Holothurians from wild populations cannot be aged, and they tend to contract longitudinal muscles when disturbed such that length measurements are highly variable for a given individual.
Our task was to examine some marine invertebrates from Prydz Bay noted 'not
holothurian'.
The region was of particular interest to conduct this study because in the 1990s was the most productive in the country in relation to the total
holothurian catch (Fajardo-Leon & Velez-Barajas, 1996; Singh-Cabanillas & Velez-Barajas, 1996).
Regeneration of the radial nerve cord in a
holothurian: a promising new model system for studying post-traumatic recovery in the adult nervous system.
The observed growth rate (K=0.88) indicates that this species achieves asymptotic size quickly, even faster than tropical commercially valuable
holothurians, such as the lolly fish (K=0.11), Thelenota ananas (K=0.20), Stichopus chloronotus (K=0.45), or Isostichopus fuscus (K=0.18) (Ebert, 1978; Conand, 1988; Herrero-Perezrul et al., 1999).
After administration, MEQ might be metabolized to different metabolites in
holothurian. Considering the potential high toxicity of MEQ, it should also be paid close attention to control the residues in foods.

Biological Activity of
Holothurian Triterpene Glycosides.
A chemical compound extracted from sea cucumber, i.e., depolymerized
holothurian glycosaminoglycan (DHG) is partially absorbed after oral administration.
Furthermore,
holothurian (sea cucumber) among echinodermata is considered as a natural resource of sulfated polysaccharides.
