Inst., Qingdao 266003, People's Rep. China SO: Source CHIN. J. MAR. DRUGS/ZHONGGUO HAIYANG YAOWU., vol. 10, no. 1, pp. 38-42, 1991. ER: Environmental Regime Marine AB: Abstract This research was carried out in two different sea areas, the closed tide-land, the open, natural sea. The size of cultivating sea cucumber juveniles for releasing into the closed tide-land without harmful sea creatures was 6.2, 12.5 and 21.2 mm. After 25 days their survival rate was 8.4, 58.4 and 47.6%, respectively. The size of juveniles for the open natural sea with harmful sea creature was 6.7, 12.9 and 28.0 mm. After 40 days, their survival rate was 3.5, 19.7 and 33.7%, respectively. After 80 days the rate was 7, 12 and 23%, respectively. If 25 mm long sea cucumber juveniles are released into the open natural sea, 21.9% of them can be caught back. The results indicate that 10 similar to 20 mm long cultivating sea cucumber juveniles are suitable for releasing into the closed tide-land without harmful sea creature, otherwise with harmful sea creature.

REV., vol. 55, no. 4, pp. 1-13, 1993 IS: ISSN ISSN 0090-1830 ER: Environmental Regime Marine AB: Abstract Sea cucumbers (Holothuridae and Stichopodidae) have been harvested commercially for at least 1,000 years. The world fisheries for sea cucumbers, however, are not well documented and in general are poorly managed. In this review, recent statistics on the world sea cucumber fisheries, collected from different services, are detailed for each major fishing area. Case studies for each fishing area are also presented. Recent major changes in the IndoPacific fishery include the participation of new producer countries, the shift in the species being exploited, and an increase in the Chinese market. The expansion of the largely monospecific temperate North Pacific fisheries is also described. Statistics from Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and the Food and Agriculture Organization provide valuable information on the producer and importer countries. An evaluation of the increase in world sea cucumber landings and beche-de-mer production is presented. This increase is best documented for New Caledonia and Fiji. Ways to improve the access and the reliability of the statistics for the sea cucumber fishery are discussed, as is the potential for management of artisanal fisheries.

PB: Publisher FAO/UNDP, BANGKOK (THAILAND) NU: Other Numbers SF/WP/9071 ER: Environmental Regime Marine AB: Abstract Information is provided regarding 5 species of marine invertebrate animals and finfish of special economic value: sea-horse (Hippocampus spp), horseshoe crab (Tachypleus spp), sea cucumber (Stichopus japonicus ), scallop (Chlamys farreri ) and razor clam (Sinonovacula constricta ). The characteristics of these species and their economic potential are described in order to increase interest among entrepreneurs as well as research and development workers in their artificial culture.

The structures are constituted by nodules with encapsulating foreign materials. More nodules are brought together by an internodular cellular mass in a large encapsulating body. Melanization accompanies the cellular encapsulation. LA: Language English PY: Publication Year 1992.
