Hi,

I am doing a research to raise Sea Cucumber and I will appreciate if someone can send me more details to the different procedures.

Cordially,

Didier.

Dear Didier,
I'm afraid Sea Cucumbers are outside the scope of the Sea Slug Forum. You will find some information on them here (look at the other messages on this page) but for more detailed information you will need to search sites with information on holothurians (Phylum: Echinodermata). The SEARCH button at the top of this page (on the right above the sea cucumber photo) will take you to the Australian Museum Online search page. If you use one of the Search engines listed there you should find something. "Meta Crawler" is quite good because it uses a number of the major search engines simultaneously.

True Sea Slugs are marine snails which in evolutionary terms have lost or are losing their shells.

Best wishes with your research,
Bill Rudman.
