Understanding juvenile sea cucumber habitat
preferences is very much essential for determining
the carrying capacity of a given habitat which enables
the successful release of sea cucumber juveniles for
restocking purpose. Holothurians occupy different
habitats such as rocky shores, sandy beaches,
muddy flats, coral reefs and mangrove swamps at
different depths. In general, the juvenile
sea cucumbers exist in the habitat occupied by the
adult but are obscured from view within the sediment
or crevices or beneath obscuring objects such as
corals and rocks. Juveniles of 21 species of
holothurians have already been reported from
Indian waters, of which 17 were observed in the same
habitat as adults and 4 in the absence of adult.
