Towards more sea cucumber: Hatchery technicians upskilled to solve production bottleneck
Excerpt
To overcome hurdles hindering the mainstreaming of sea cucumber aquaculture production in the Philippines, an international research organization conducted specialized training for technical staff nationwide on an innovative feeding strategy. Sea cucumbers command high prices in international markets, with a kilogram of dried sea cucumber fetching over $1,000. However, rampant overharvesting of wild stocks led to their depletion, prompting aquaculturists to explore breeding technologies.
