<p class="Papertext"><strong>The Preference of The Sandfish Holothuria scabra on Macroalgae-Based Feed. </strong>The sandfish, <em>Holothuria scabra</em>, is one ofthe marine species that has the potential to be developed as a source high-value functional food. However, growth sandfish still constrained by availability suitable feed. This study aimed determine leve...

Sea cucumber (Holothuria atra) was used as a reducing and capping agent in the green synthesis process to produce silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The antioxidant activity of generated then evaluated. Seacucumber extract mixed with AgNO3 solution homogenized using magnetic stirrer create nanoparticles. It determined that nanoparticle production had occurred UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Before being e...

Abstract In the present study, biochemical composition of some Echinodermata (Holothuroidea, Echinoidea) from Red Sea, Egypt was investigated. The results showed that highest percentage saturated fatty acids (SFA) in Holothuria nobilis and lowest recorded scabra. monounsaturated (MUFA) Pearsonothuria graeffei while atra. polyunsaturated (PUFA) omega-3 Stichopus hermanni however, Diadema setosum...

A new species of commensal shrimp of the genus Typton from holothurians is described and illustrated. The specimens were collected from a single specimen of Holothuria (Halodeima) inornata Semper, 1868 at a depth of 7 m. This is the first record of an association between a shrimp of the genus Typton and echinoderms. With this record, five species of Typton are now known from the eastern Pacific...

Due to their unique biochemical composition, sea cucumbers are highly prized marine echinoderm species. One of most important properties is that they contain a high amount collagen in body wall. In this study, the relationship between and pepsin-solubilized yields from Holothuria tubulosa poli morphometric parameters were investigated.
 Collagen range 10.63–16.04% for H. 7.12–13.10% poli. ...
