Wild juvenile collection (WJC) from settling larvae has been reported for two temperate holothurians (Apostichopus japonicus and Apostichopus californicus), mainly for the objective of restocking, but its applicability to tropical holothurians is unknown. This study, for the first time, tested the applicability of WJC for tropical sea cucumbers.
First, hatchery‐produced larvae of peanutfish (Stichopus horrens...

Factors influencing survival and growth of cultured sandfish, Holothuria scabra, were evaluated in a series of experiments in land-based nursery tanks. There was a critical period in the culture of newly-settled juveniles(<5mm) during which high mortality occurred. After 1 month, survival averaged 34.4% (± 1.2 s.e., n=4) if juveniles were reared on plates, but was lower and more variable if they...

The growth of juvenile (less than 10g) Actinopyga mauritiana was examined at three different levels of stocking biomass; low (26 g m - 2 ), medium (130 g m - 2 ), high (260 g m - 2 ), and two feeding regimes (removing or not removing faeces from grow-out tanks) for 12 months. Growth was monitored monthly using fresh weights , which were taken after maximum...
