摘要

Abstract

There is substantial individual variation in the growth rates of sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus individuals. This necessitates additional work to grade the seed stock and lengthens the production period. We evaluated the influence of three culture methods (free-mixed

isolated-mixed

isolated-alone) on individual variation in growth and assessed the relationship between feeding

energy conversion efficiency

and individual growth variation in individually cultured sea cucumbers. Of the different culture methods

animals grew best when reared in the isolated-mixed treatment (i.e.

size classes were held separately)

though there was no difference in individual variation in growth between rearing treatment groups. The individual variation in growth was primarily attributed to genetic factors. The difference in food conversion efficiency caused by genetic differences among individuals was thought to be the origin of the variance. The level of individual growth variation may be altered by interactions among individuals and environmental heterogeneity. Our results suggest that

in addition to traditional seed grading

design of a new kind of substrate that changes the spatial distribution of sea cucumbers would effectively enhance growth and reduce individual variation in growth of sea cucumbers in culture.
