Description Four specimens of Actinopyga mauHtlana collected on 27th September 1988 in Andaman waters
south of Burmanalla near Port Blair, were left in the Aquarium on board FORV Sagar Sampada
for observations. The surface temperature of the sea water was 25.0° C and the sea water in the
Aquarium was 29.2° C. The higher temperature in the Aquarium triggered the male holothurians
to spawn first followed by the female. The fertilized eggs developed only upto four-celled stage.
