Abstract

Overexploitation of sea cucumbers wild populations has raised concerns, and aquaculture emerges as a sustainable solution. In response to increasing global demand due to the nutritional and medicinal value of sea cucumber, the aquaculture and feeding technologies of these species improve significantly during the last 10 years. The review highlights the advancements and challenges associated with species reproduction and survival. It focuses on optimal culture conditions, broodstock management, larval rearing, and disease outbreaks. Feeding technology is another important theme addressed in this document; the research essentially focused on replicating natural diets in aquaculture systems to ensure optimal growth. Biotics, including probiotics and prebiotics, are also explored as valuable supplements to improve the health and growth of sea cucumbers in aquaculture environments. Finally, future advancements, including genetic breeding and multitrophic aquaculture systems, are demonstrated as essential for ensuring sustainable production in the sea cucumber aquaculture industry. The document stresses the need for continuous research on nutrition, disease management, and environmental impacts to address ongoing challenges and improve the efficiency of sea cucumber farming.

海参养殖业不断变化的挑战和创新

对野生海参种群的过度开发引起了人们的关注，水产养殖成为一种可持续的解决方案。由于海参的营养和药用价值，全球对海参的需求不断增加，在过去的10年里，海参的养殖和饲养技术有了显著的提高。这篇综述强调了与物种繁殖和生存相关的进展和挑战。它侧重于最佳培养条件、亲鱼管理、幼虫饲养和疾病暴发。饲喂技术是本文件讨论的另一个重要主题；该研究主要侧重于在水产养殖系统中复制自然饲料，以确保最佳生长。生物制剂，包括益生菌和益生元，也被探索作为有价值的补充，以改善水产养殖环境中海参的健康和生长。最后，未来的进展，包括遗传育种和多营养水产养殖系统，被证明是确保海参养殖业可持续生产的必要条件。该文件强调需要在营养、疾病管理和环境影响方面进行持续研究，以应对当前的挑战并提高海参养殖效率。图形抽象

期刊介绍： Aquaculture International is an international journal publishing original research papers, short communications, technical notes and review papers on all aspects of aquaculture. The Journal covers topics such as the biology, physiology, pathology and genetics of cultured fish, crustaceans, molluscs and plants, especially new species; water quality of supply systems, fluctuations in water quality within farms and the environmental impacts of aquacultural operations; nutrition, feeding and stocking practices, especially as they affect the health and growth rates of cultured species; sustainable production techniques; bioengineering studies on the design and management of offshore and land-based systems; the improvement of quality and marketing of farmed products; sociological and societal impacts of aquaculture, and more. This is the official Journal of the European Aquaculture Society.
