Key Points

To identify effective feed for enhancing the growth and maturity of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus.
Feeding trials conducted over six months and one year
Comparison between commercial feed with and without fish meal
Measurement of growth and maturation rates
In the one-year trial, the fish meal group had a significantly higher weight compared to the control group.
Both feeding trials showed a significantly higher response for spawning induction in the fish meal group compared to controls.

Implication

Demonstrates improved growth and maturity in sea cucumbers with fish meal supplementation in feed, indicating a beneficial nutritional strategy.
