Editorial
This 10th edition of the Bulletin gives us an opportunity to review the progress made in the ‘sea-cucumber sector’ information system in broad terms. After beginning in the tropical Pacific, the Bulletin has gradually acquired a wide international audience, while sea cucumber fisheries, often a source of conflict, have grown.
Readers, I would like to thank all those who have already contributed to the Bulletin, and ask that you take an active role in its improvement, as many of you have already indicated that the Bulletin is useful for you. I would be very interested in having your opinion on the following questions:
· Is the current presentation by section, i.e. 1) New Information, 2) Correspondence, 3) Publications, satisfactory?
· Which section should be given more space?
· In the ‘New Information’ section, parts on ‘In situ spawning observations’ and ‘Asexual reproduction through fission observations’ have been introduced. This issue will for the first time include a part on ‘Aquacultural information’, with help from S. Battaglene at ICLARM. Are there any other new parts that you would like to see included?
Your suggestions and comments are both useful and necessary.
This Bulletin includes original articles on the resources of several different countries, including Malaysia, Madagascar, Mozambique, and Sulawesi, Indonesia. Many different aspects of the biology of asexual reproduction through fission and identifying specimens are discussed. And a contribution on the aquaculture of the species Stichopus japonicus will certainly meet the expectations of those interested in this activity.
