picture info	Sea Cucumber Sea cucumbers are echinoderms from the class Holothuroidea (). They are marine animals with a leathery skin and an elongated body containing a single, branched gonad. Sea cucumbers are found on the sea floor worldwide. The number of holothurian () species worldwide is about 1,717, with the greatest number being in the Asia-Pacific region. Many of these are gathered for human consumption and some species are cultivated in aquaculture systems. The harvested product is variously referred to as '' trepang'', ''namako'', ''bêche-de-mer'', or ''balate''. Sea cucumbers serve a useful role in the marine ecosystem as they help recycle nutrients, breaking down detritus and other organic matter, after which bacteria can continue the decomposition process. Like all echinoderms, sea cucumbers have an endoskeleton just below the skin, calcified structures that are usually reduced to isolated microscopic ossicles (or sclerietes) joined by connective tissue. In some species these can sometim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Holothuria ''Holothuria'' is the type genus of the marine animal family Holothuriidae, part of the class Holothuroidea, commonly known as sea cucumbers. Members of the genus are found in coastal waters in tropical and temperate regions. They are soft bodied, limbless invertebrates that dwell on the ocean floor and are usually detritivore. They resemble a cucumber in form. The genus contains some species that are harvested and sold as food. Species The following species are recognised in the genus ''Holothuria'': * Subgenus ''Acanthotrapeza'' '' Holothuria coluber'' '' Holothuria kubaryi'' ''Holothuria pyxis'' ''Holothuria tripilata'' * Subgenus ''Cystipus'' ''Holothuria casoae'' ''Holothuria cubana'' ''Holothuria dura'' ''Holothuria hartmeyeri'' ''Holothuria inhabilis'' ''Holothuria jousseaumei'' ''Holothuria mammosa'' ''Holothuria occidentalis'' '' Holothuria pseudofossor'' '' Holothuria rigida'' ''Holothuria sucosa ...

	Holothuriidae Holothuriidae is a family of sea cucumbers, a type of echinoderm. Description Members of the family Holothuriidae have thick fleshy bodies and several rows of tube feet which are used for moving around and for adhering to the surface. The body is often covered with blunt projections known as papillae. Many of the members of this family are able to eject a mass of fine sticky threads known as cuvierian tubules to distract predators, or even turn their viscera inside out. For the taxonomic determination, the genera '' Actinopyga'' and '' Bohadschia'' have their spicules exclusively shaped like sticks, and the genera ''Holothuria'' and '' Labidodemas'' never have theirs shaped like tables. '' Actinopyga'' is also equipped with anal teeth (modified podia), and never throw out Cuvieran tubules, just like '' Pearsonothuria''. Members of this family occur throughout the oceans of the world at low to middle latitudes. They often live in coral reefs and nearby sandy habitat types, and a ...
