Review Global Management utilization of sea cucumbers
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
In recent decades, invertebrate fisheries have expanded in catch and value worldwide, thus the sea cucumbers (class Holothuroidea), which are highly valued in Asia and sold as trepang or bêche-de-mer [4]. The utilization of sea cucumbers, including for human consumption, has been steadily growing over the years. [6] Fisher participation data indicated about 3 million sea cucumber fishers worldwide [7]. Worldwide, most sea cucumber fisheries are ineffectively managed, leading to declining stocks and potentially eroding the resilience of fisheries [5]. Sea cucumber exports are derived from countries where either this fishery is banned such as Panama and Most of the sea cucumber exports from the Latin America and the Caribbean regions are from Peru (26.1%) followed by Ecuador (25.9%), Chile (14.1%) and Cuba (10.1%). About 14.0% Costa Rica or have no proper record (Colombia) [8]. According to the FAO (FAO, 2007) report, sea cucumbers catches data is available for Ecuador, Mexico, Chile and Nicaragua with a total contribution of 6035 t (wet weight) for the period from 1988 to 2005 (Table 1) [9,8]. Sea cucumber fisheries in Turkey have been managed by legal regulations since 2007. Sea cucumber fishing is allowed only in a small area of the northern Mediterranean where a fallow period goes into effect after four years of fishing [17]. Sea cucumber fishing is a problem worldwide, another option could be sea cucumber farming. Tropical sea cucumber mariculture has potential to become a profitable industry and contribute towards natural population replenishment. They have superb potential to diversify mariculture industries in the tropics and potentially ameliorate the detrimental effects of mariculture on coastal ecosystems [27]. The conclusion; this review suggests we focus on farming of sea cucumber to decrease the sea cucumber exploitation.
