Sea cucumbers are in high demand the world market due to their nutritional and medicinal values. In this study, growth performance of juvenile sea Holothuria scabra fed with different proportions two feeds was analyzed. Commercially available cucumber feed (feed-A) formulated (feed-B) were used for experiments. Animals 2% feed-A showed a negative rate. Maximum observed animals 8% feed-B. While treated groups significant variation (P < 0.05) between percentages diets, feed-B no such variation. Feed-B higher rates compared cucumbers. Water quality parameters anoxic conditions soil culture tanks did not change percentage feeds. conclusion, study that diet is an important factor optimum
