Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The aspidochirote sea cucumber Australostichopus mollis is a commercially valuable species of research interest as a candidate for aquaculture or polyculture. Understanding juvenile habitat and feeding biology is essential to furthering aquaculture efforts and expanding knowledge of the ecology of the species. Surveying within the Mahurangi Harbour, New Zealand, revealed highly patchy distribution of juvenile A. mollis at one site within an area of high adult density. High juvenile density correlated with sediment qualities favouring epibenthic detritivorous deposit-feeding. Juvenile A. mollis showed no distinct spatial separation from adults and no association with dense macroalgae or preference for shallower depths than adults, as may be expected from studies on other sea cucumber species. Wild caught juveniles displaced to non-juvenile habitats with novel surface sediments showed rapid growth. The results indicate that the highly patchy distribution of juveniles in the harbour is not due to differences in the food quality of sediments but rather other localised effects. Juvenile A. mollis show an ability to exploit a variety of benthic sediment food sources, with growth rates comparable to other cultured species. Juvenile A. mollis exhibited positive selectivity for organic particles both in situ and in the laboratory. Juveniles exhibited an ability to distinguish between different sediment TOM levels, an ability which became limited once TOM exceeded 3%. The results reiterate the specific nutrient recycling role of deposit-feeding sea cucumbers and may help explain the patchy distribution of juvenile sea cucumbers in heterogeneous habitats. In addition the research indicates that diet homogeneity and stability will be important in development of A. mollis artificial diets while a broad range of artificial diet grain sizes will be consumed. Juvenile A. mollis fed a high rate of mussel waste diet over three months exhibited significantly higher specific growth rate (SGR) than those fed natural sediment or algal diets. The results indicate the suitability of mussel waste as a juvenile diet and show that rapid growth can be expected among juvenile sea cucumbers cultured beneath mussel farms provided sea cucumber stocking rates are managed appropriately. Bioavailability of potential artificial diet ingredients was also systematically tested for juvenile A. mollis. Apparent digestibility was moderate for common carbohydrate sources and excellent for a range of artificial protein sources including low-cost protein sources. However, growth on artificial diets was poor and diet performance may need to be improved using fermentation steps or similar before they become viable. Rapid growth and flexible feeding preferences show A. mollis to be well suited to future aquaculture and polyculture"--Abstract.

Download or read book Commercially important sea cucumbers of the world written by Purcell, S.W. and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2023-06-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sea cucumbers are harvested and traded in more than 90 countries worldwide. They are exploited in industrial and small-scale fisheries, nearly from pole to pole, especially in the tropics. In some fisheries, more than 20 species are exploited by fishers. Fishers in general know how to distinguish the species they harvest, often identifying them with local names. For fishery officers and even biologists, recognizing sea cucumber species remains daunting however as they are confronted only with the final product: bêche-de-mer (or trepang) which is the processed (cooked and dried) product. This field guide offers a tool for fishery managers, scientists, trade officers and industry workers to recognize live and processed (cooked and dried) animals. This animal resource is mainly exported to Asian markets where it is sold mainly, but not exclusively, as a luxury food item. This book provides identification information on 84 species of sea cucumbers that are commonly or opportunistically (as bycatch) exploited around the world. The list is certainly not all-encompassing, as some other sea cucumber species are also exploited. More scientific data and accounts are needed for species from some regions such as the Eastern Atlantic Ocean. The accounts are based on more than 270 reports and research articles and on comments and reviews by taxonomists and field workers. Two-page identification sheets provide selected information to enable similar species to be distinguished from each other, both in the live and processed (dried) forms. Where available, the following information for each species has been included: scientific and known common names used in different countries and regions; scientific illustrations of the body and ossicles; descriptions of ossicles present in different body parts; a colour photograph of live and dried specimens; basic information on size, habitat, biology, fisheries, human consumption, market value and trade; geographic distribution maps. The volume is fully indexed and contains an introduction, a glossary, simplified dichotomous keys to live animals and dried products and a dedicated bibliography. Readers are encouraged to base their identifications on a combination of morphological features, samples of ossicles from different body parts and information on what habitat and locality the species was found.
