There is significant commercial and research interest in the application of sea cucumbers as nutrient recyclers and processors of particulate waste in polyculture or integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems. The following article reviews examples of existing IMTA systems operating with sea cucumbers, and details the role and effect of several sea cucumber species in experimental and pilot IMTA systems worldwide. Historical observations and quantification of impacts of sea cucumber deposit-feeding and locomotion are examined, as is the development and testing of concepts for the application of sea cucumbers in sediment remediation and site recovery. The extension of applied IMTA systems is reported, from basic piloting through to economically viable farming systems operating at commercial scales. The near-global recognition of the ecological and economic value of deposit-feeding sea cucumbers in IMTA applications within existing and developing aquaculture industries is discussed. Predictions and recommendations are offered for optimal development of sea cucumber IMTA globally. Future directions within the industry are indicated, and key areas of ecological, biological and commercial concern are highlighted to be kept in mind and addressed in a precautionary manner as the industry develops.

“…Cultivation of high‐quality sea cucumber seedlings is crucial for health development of sea cucumber aquaculture. Practically, the A. japonicus seedlings produced in outdoor ponds were found to be in better quality than those cultured in hatcheries (Ru et al, ; Zhang et al, ). Compared with seedlings cultured in farms, the outdoor‐produced seedlings presented higher survival, higher yield and stronger resistance, though the available scientific support is somehow absent.…”

“…It is crucial to foster robust seedlings and enhance selective breeding for sustainable development of A. japonicus aquaculture. Moreover, the abuse of antibiotics during nursery and industrialized culture of sea cucumber has emerged to pursue an excess of high stock density and yield in China (Zhang, Song, Hamel, & Mercier, ), but it induces seedlings to lower their immunity and resistance, which accelerates degeneration of A. japonicus seedlings (Yang, Peng, Tian, & Dong, ; Ye, Hui, Qing, & Li, ). In contrast to indoor‐cultured A. japonicus seedlings, the outdoor‐cultured seedlings practically behave with more robustness and stronger disease resistance, yielding higher survival and production; but it still lacks potent scientific evidence.…”

Quality evaluation of indoor‐ and outdoor‐cultured sea cucumber ( Apostichopus japonicus ) seedlings: Insight from survival and immune performance in response to combined stress of hyperthermia and hyposalinity

The mass mortalities of sea cucumber Apostichpous japonicus have prevailed in northern China, mainly attributing to the emergence of extreme environmental conditions, that is hyperthermia and hyposalinity. The high-quality sea cucumber seedlings appear to possess more robust resistance to adverse conditions. There are usually indoor-and outdoor-cultured seedlings in industrial production of sea cucumbers.Although the outdoor-cultured sea cucumbers are practically considered to be more strong and robust, the effective evaluation approach to distinguish these seedlings has been scarce. The current study compared survival and immune performances of indoor-and outdoor-cultured A. japonicus under combined exogenous stressors, that is hyperthermia and hyposalinity. Results based on secondary stress induction revealed that the activities of immune enzymes and levels of catecholamines in body wall of outdoor-cultured seedlings were prominently higher than those of indoor-cultured seedlings recovered for 0-72 hr following sublethal stress (30°C and 25 psu of salinity). The opposite case occurred on immune enzymes in coelomic fluid of the two sources of seedlings except for myeloperoxidase. Importantly, the outdoor-cultured seedlings, which were recovered for 72 hr after sublethal stress, exhibited a 93% of cumulative survival rate following 7 days of recovery after lethal stress (33°C and 20 psu of salinity), 27% higher than the indoor-cultured seedlings. Collectively, the outdoor-cultured A. japonicus seedlings showed more superior quality than the hatchery-produced seedlings in terms of survival and immune performance. These findings provide practically useful information towards quality distinction of the indoor-and outdoor-cultured sea cucumbers, which could benefit the aquaculture industry to obtain high-quality seedlings.

Abstract. Wetlands along the Yellow Sea coast of China, which are a major staging area for shorebirds in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, are in a state of crisis that threatens the future of this migration system. Populations of many shorebirds in the Flyway have declined in recent decades at a time when there has been widespread loss of habitat and degradation of coastal wetlands around the Yellow Sea. Here we examine current threats to coastal wetlands along China's Yellow Sea coast based on field surveys in 2013 and 2014 and a review of the literature. Intertidal habitats have been lost to land claim or degraded through aquaculture and harvesting, as well as gross pollution and invasion of exotic Spartina, all of which have negatively affected shorebird foraging, roosting and breeding sites. Planned further development, if unchecked, will result in the loss of most of the remaining intertidal area, which is likely to result in calamitous declines in populations of many shorebirds. There is a need for immediate action to curb future land claim and to develop an integrated coastal management strategy. Further research on applied aspects of shorebird ecology is urgently needed to inform future policy development and decision making.
