Growth Performance of Sea cucumber Holothuria scabra Juvenile in Different Initial Size of Pond Culture in Lombok, Indonesia

Sea cucumber Holothuria scabra has high market value and demand, consequently its stock has sharply declined due to overexploitation. Aquaculture of sea cucumbers is a key to conserve and to restore the decreasing population while producing them for commercial purpose. The obstacles in scale-up prod...
