Sea cucumbers are an abundant echinoderm group in Malaysia which provides commercial and medicinal values to local people. Due to the lack of data on sea cucumbers status in Johor coastal seawaters, this study was conducted. This study aimed to identify the species and relationship of sea cucumber from two selected Johor coastal seawater; Pulau Tinggi and Sedili Kechil based on ossicle shape. The current study recorded 53 individuals of sea cucumbers, of which 23 individuals were from Pulau Tinggi, Mersing District and 30 individuals were from Sedili Kechil, Kota Tinggi District. A number of 10 species of sea cucumber were found in the coastal waters of Pulau Tinggi, Mersing and three species in Sedili Kechil, Kota Tinggi, Johor. A total of 10 ossicle shapes were observed and extracted from the sea cucumber samples namely button, perforated plate, table, C-shaped rod, rosette, anchor, spider, I-shaped rod, boomerang, and J-shaped rod. The species relationship based on ossicle shapes was analysed using clustering option of PAST (PAleontological STatistics) software version 4.03. The analysis concluded that two groups of sea cucumber families i.e. Holothuriidae and Stichopodidae were present, although S. chloronotus clustered closer with the members of family Holothuriidae. Although more specimens are required to generate better conclusive results, the outcomes provided updated data on sea cucumber species in Johor seawater.

Teripang (Holothuroidea) hidup sebagai hewan bentik pada ekosistem terumbu karang dan asosiasinya, di antaranya adalah ekosistem padang lamun. Padang lamun menyediakan nutrient bagi pertumbuhan mikro yang berfungsi sebagai makanannya, sehingga ekosistem padang lamun menyediakan habitat yang baik bagi teripang. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Mei 2019 di Pantai Prawean Desa Bandengan, Jepara. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kelimpahan teripang dengan tingkat kerapatan lamun yang berbeda, mengetahui jenis sedimen beserta bahan organik yang terkandung pada sedimen, dan mengetahui hubungan kelimpahan teripang dengan kerapatan lamun. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengambilan sampel teripang dan perhitungan kerapatan lamun yaitu purposive sampling dengan teknik garis dan transek. Pengambilan sedimen menggunakan sediment core. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukan pada Stasiun 1 (kerapatan padat) yaitu 33 individu meliputi 25 individu H. atra dan 8 individu H. scabra. Stasiun 2 (kerapatan sedang) yaitu 13 individu meliputi 10 individu H. atra dan 3 individu H. scabra. Stasiun 3 (kerapatan jarang) yaitu 5 individu meliputi 4 individu H. atra dan 1 individu H. scabra. Kandungan bahan organik pada lokasi penelitian berkisar 7,25-13,15% dengan fraksi sedimen berupa pasir halus. Hasil analisis regresi linear sederhana dari hubungan kelimpahan teripang dengan kerapatan lamun didapatkan persamaan y = 0,0091x – 2,2275. Nilai korelasi (r) yang didapatkan yaitu 0,80 menunjukan hubungan yang kuat dan nilai determinasi (R2) yaitu 0,641 yang berarti bahwa 64,1% kelimpahan teripang dipengaruhi oleh kerapatan lamun. Sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea) live as benthic animals in coral reef ecosystems and their associations, among them are seagrass ecosystems. Seagrass beds provide nutrients for micro-growth that function as food, so seagrass ecosystems provide good habitat for sea cucumbers.

Species identification of sea cucumbers that have undergone body deformation due to extensive food processing e.g. beche-de-mer is difficult especially with the copresence of cases of unlabelled or mislabelled sea cucumber-based products in the markets.  Therefore, a study was done to determine the species identities of processed sea cucumbers from selected Malaysian markets using concatenated gene sequences of non-protein-coding 12S mitochondrial rRNA gene and non-protein-coding 16S mitochondrial rRNA gene. Phylogenetic analyses based on the distance-based Neighbour Joining method, and the character-based methods i.e. the Maximum Parsimony method, Maximum Likelihood method, and the Bayesian Analysis method of 47 ingroup sequences representing 37 processed sea cucumber specimens, six reference samples, and four additional specimens suggested the presence of three main clusters i.e. gamat family consisting of genus Stichopus and genus Thelenota; and timun laut family comprising family Holothuriidae. A number of three gamat species i.e. Stichopus horrens, Stichopus vastus, and Thelenota anax were recorded. Meanwhile, the specimens of Holothuria (Halodeima) atra, Holothuria (Halodeima) edulis, Holothuria (Metriatyla) lessoni, Holothuria (Mertensiothuria) leucospilota, and Holothuria (Metriatyla) scabra were the five timun laut species that grouped under the family Holothuriidae. The outcomes of this study can be utilised by the enforcement agencies to monitor and overcome the issues of species substitution and product mislabelling of processed sea cucumber products in Malaysian markets.

Sea cucumbers, marine animals from the class Holothuroidea, have been widely known as fishery products for consumption in Indonesia. The Madura Strait is productive waters for sea cucumbers in eastern Indonesia, including sea cucumber species Phyllophorus sp. The exploitation of it mainly for consumption even though there are pharmaceutical beneficial of sea cucumber already known. The study of temperature effect is ideal inducement method for sea cucumber, but less research about this stimulation for Phyllophorus sp. for domestication purposes. The research showed that thermal stimulation treatment at the temperature of 30°C, 32°C and 34°C were in contrast to the that of control histological analysis proof that some of Phyllophorus sp. showed altered levels of gonadal maturation toward growth and advanced growth phase after thermal stimulation, respectively. The ideal stimulation treatment for gonad maturation was shown with stimulated temperature treatment of 32°C.J. bio-sci. 23: 39-46, 2015

Tropical sea cucumbers are commonly exploited by small-scale, poorly managed fisheries. A fundamental problem in managing sea cucumber fisheries is the lack of basic knowledge of important life history characteristics for most species. As a result of plastic body dimensions, biological research on this group of animals becomes exceptionally challenging. To improve our understanding of essential biological parameters, we conducted a study to investigate correlations among various body measurements. We analysed a total of 18 sea cucumber species and more than 6600 individuals collected at Scott Reef in the Timor Sea, north-west Australia. We used hierarchical Bayesian errors-in-variables models to specifically take into account measurement errors that are obviously unavoidable. The measures included three types of weights (wet weight, gutted weight and dry weight) and two body dimensions (length and width). The modelling reveals that using both body length and width as independent variables, wet weight increases approximately linearly with body length, but is a power function (~1.6) of body width, although variability exists among species. Dry weight tends to increase more slowly with body length, but has a similar power function of body width. Linear relationships are established between the three types of weights. On average, ~11% of a live specimen and ~16% of a gutted specimen is processed to the commercially traded dry body wall. Our results can be applied to sea cucumbers in other areas and can be useful for data standardisation and size-based fisheries management.
