Abstract This research aims to analyze the kelp, diversity, evenness, dominance, food characteristics, habitat and physical chemical parameters of Holothuroidea in Sancang marine preserve. The method used this is descriptive with sampling using purposive sampling, assisted by help lie transects, quadratic transect ecology Holothuroidea. Based on field observations, species exiting Cikabodasan b...

Abstarct: A molecular phylogenetic analysis of some Holothuroidea was undertaken in order to clarify the systematics and taxonomy of this class in the red sea. DNA sequence for portions of 16S mitochondrial genes was obtained from 4 species of sea cucumbers. The resulting molecular phylogeny using maximum likelihood methods of the Holothuroidea conflicting existing taxonomy, which is based larg...

Over five hundred and forty of seacucumbers eollected on the southern coasts of Tasmania have in the course of the present study. Seven families, 12 and 14 species are represented in the One is regarded are as new, adhaerens, TaVUtll. and Paraca.udina. Three other species have not been recorded previously from Tasmania but are known from the coast of Victoria. They are Cllcurnella Jnutans incon...

to identify the species of sea cucumbers belong to holothuroidea in the intertidal zones of chabahar bay, field studies were conducted during one year from november 2008 to september 2009. the area of study was located at the farthest end of southeast of iran in province of sistan and balouchestan between 25°16́́ 61̋ and 25°22́ 47 ̋ north, and between 60°39́ 90 ̋ and 60°24́ 38 ̋ east. 5 sampling station...

Thandar & Arumugam (2011), in their erection of the new dactylochirotid family Cucumellidae, inadvertently omitted to designate its type genus. This error is here rectified and Cucumella Heding (in Ludwig & Heding, 1935) is designated the type genus of the new family Cucumellidae to comply with the requirements of Article 61 of the International Code. Following Smirnov (2012), in his revised cl...

Holothuroids, or sea cucumbers, are an abundant and diverse group of echinoderms with over 1400 species occurring from the intertidal to the deepest oceanic trenches. In this study, we report the first phylogeny of this class, based on a cladistic analysis of 47 morphological characters. We introduce several previously unconsidered synapomorphic characters, examine the relationships between rep...
