Editorial
Dear readers
This is the 14th issue of the Bulletin. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have already contributed to it and ask that you take an active role in its improvement, as many of you have already indicated that the Bulletin is useful to you.
Is the current presentation by section, i.e. 1) New Information, 2) Correspondence, 3) Publications, satisfactory? Are there any other new columns that you would like to see included? Your suggestions and comments are necessary for the Bulletin’s development.
In the ‘New Information’ section, the columns on ‘In situ spawning observations’ and ‘Asexual reproduction through fission observations’ have received a favourable response with two new articles.
Many of the articles in this issue deal with sea cucumber aquaculture, in particular, a few summaries and an article on a new hatchery in Madagascar.
This issue includes other articles on the Galapagos and the Singapore market.
The "Echinoderms Newsletter" is also available on the Web at www.nmnh.si.edu/iz/echinoderm .
An echinoderms forum was created after the International Conference in Dunedin. You can subscribe by contacting
