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).

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).
