Abstract
Holothuria poli is one of the most in-demand sea cucumber species and has attracted the interest of markets in Mediterranean regions. The present study is the first attempt to determine the reproductive cycle of H. poli in a coastal area of the Central Aegean Sea. Samples of H. poli as well as environmental and biometric data were collected monthly for 1 year. The sample population exhibited a female predominance, a size at first maturation of 156.3 mm and a distinctive reproductive pattern that reached its mature stage in the summer months. These findings contribute to the overall understanding of the reproductive physiology of the species and provide information for the sustainable management of sea cucumber stocks in the Hellenic Seas.
Holothuria poli 是需求量最大的海参品种之一，引起了地中海地区市场的兴趣。本研究首次尝试确定 H. poli 在爱琴海中部沿海地区的繁殖周期。在为期一年的时间里，研究人员每月收集波利鳕样本以及环境和生物特征数据。样本种群以雌性为主，初熟个体大小为 156.3 毫米，具有独特的繁殖模式，在夏季达到成熟阶段。这些发现有助于全面了解该物种的生殖生理，并为希腊海域海参种群的可持续管理提供信息。
期刊介绍：
This journal provides an international forum for the publication of papers in the areas of fisheries science, fishing technology, fisheries management and relevant socio-economics. The scope covers fisheries in salt, brackish and freshwater systems, and all aspects of associated ecology, environmental aspects of fisheries, and economics. Both theoretical and practical papers are acceptable, including laboratory and field experimental studies relevant to fisheries. Papers on the conservation of exploitable living resources are welcome. Review and Viewpoint articles are also published. As the specified areas inevitably impinge on and interrelate with each other, the approach of the journal is multidisciplinary, and authors are encouraged to emphasise the relevance of their own work to that of other disciplines. The journal is intended for fisheries scientists, biological oceanographers, gear technologists, economists, managers, administrators, policy makers and legislators.
