High salinity effect on mortality of sandfish Holothuria scabra (Jaeger, 1833)

Abstract: The sandfish Holothuria scabra is a sea cucumber with a very high economic value. Sandfish cultivated in brackish water ponds will face a high salinity problem in the dry season. This study aimed to analyse the effect of high salinity on sandfish mortality. The study was done in a controlled tank in which the sea water was allowed to evaporate naturally, without the addition fresh water, so that the salinity increased continually. High salinity can cause injury and death to sandfish; before death, there was an… Show more

“…For example, stenohaline organisms have restricted salinity tolerance. Both higher and lower salinity extremes in the ocean can result in elevated mortality rates among a wide range of marine species (Zhang et al 2019, Evans and Kültz 2020, Oliveira 2021, Tuwo et al 2021, Roibás-Rozas et al 2022. Thus, results in this study could improve our understanding of the ocean's habitability.…”

“…There is also some dispute regarding survival following manual evisceration, with studies reporting variable survival rates of 57–98% [ 134 , 142 ]. However, in studies where sea cucumbers were induced to autotomize the viscera, the survival rates were consistently greater than 95% [ 94 , 143 , 144 ]. These findings suggest that inducing the autotomy of internal organs as a means of collection, as opposed to opening the body wall to manually removal viscera, may support the design of more sustainable practices going forward.…”

“…The salinity findings at the Labu Prajak station are slightly different from previous studies, the optimum salinity for H. scabra is 32-34 ppt. However, H. scabra is known to have a greater tolerance limit for salinity than other sea cucumber species; it can be up to 47 ppt (Tuwo et al 2021).…”
