ACIAR has provided significant, long-term research investment into tropical sea cucumber aquaculture in the Asia–Pacific region. Work has included large-scale hatchery culture of sandfish (a species of sea cucumber), techniques for releasing cultured juveniles into the wild, and sea ranching and pond culture. 

6th Fish & Shellfish Larviculture Symposium, Ghent University, Belgium - September 2 - 5, 2013

Capitalizing on the previous “larvi” symposia (in ’91, ’95, ’01, ’05, ‘09), the Aquaculture R&D Consortium of Ghent University, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the COST action “LARVANET”  joined again in the organizing committee for “larvi’13” and invited academics as well as the private sector to attend the 6th Fish and Shellfish Larviculture Symposium. Bringing together European and non-European stakeholders, once again the latest progress in the sector was reviewed, problems identified and avenues for future collaboration explored.

An understanding of the abalone feeding ecology in the early life stages is considered important for the improvement of rearing techniques in abalone hatcheries. This article will review studies on the feeding ecology in the early life stages of H. discus hannai with a focus on the feeding transitions associated with the development of the digestive ability.
