earning a foreign exchange of over one crore of
rupees by exporting processed sea-cucumbers.
In the seas around India, nearly 200 species of
sea-cucumbers are known, of which about 75 are
from the shallow waters within twenty metres
depth. Of these a dozen species are of
commercial value. Sea-cucumbers occur in

Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the
Lakshadweep. A small scale cottage industry
exists in Tamil Nadu Coast for more than one
