The species' density is relativelylow, but sometimes reaches up to several specimens perm2 (Franklin 1980; Conand 1989; Uthicke 1994; Conandet al. 1998). Similarly to nine other Aspidochirotes sea cucumbers,they can reproduce both sexually and asexually (Uthicke1994, 1997,2001; Conand et al. 1998). Their sexualreproduction has been studied in Australia (Franklin1980) and Malaysia (Tan ShauHwai and Bin Yasin 2000).Asexual reproduction is achieved by transverse fissionresulting in two animals that each regenerate the... |
