Sallehudin J., . (2000) Reproductive cycle of Stichopus chloronotus Brandt 1835. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
The reproductive cycles of Stichopus chloronotus Brandt 1835 were studied at Pulau Payar from February 1996 till March 1997. The reproductive stage was assessed by investigating the gonad index gonad histology and by measuring the size of oocytes. Monthly variations in the gonad indices of male and female sea cucumbers were observed to be almost similar. Correlation between gonad indices and size of oocytes was found to be significant P0.05 for this species. The spawning period for sea cucumbers in the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia was noted to be from March to April and November to December which should be considered for the management of sea cucumber fisheries. Temperature and chlorophyll-a corresponding to the peak spawning season also discussed.
