Spatial distribution and temporal shifts in the biology of Holothuria whitmaei (sea cucumber) at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia - Series Summary

Created 24/06/2025

Updated 24/06/2025

Data were collected to: - i) investigate the spatial distribution and temporal changes in the biology of H.whitmaei (Bell, 1887)(from the perspective of activity, feeding and reproduction), and, - ii) provide an overall synthesis of the results, whilst placing an emphasis on the strategies that may have facilitated the persistence of H. whitmaei in outer reef environments; zones which due to their physical and oceanographic characteristics, could be considered unfavourable for deposit feeding, broadcast spawners.
