Abstract

Sandfish, a commercially important species of sea cucumber, are fished off the northern Australian coast.The project objectives are to characterise the genetic population structure of Holothuria scabra (sandfish) within the range fished by Tasmanian Seafoods, to characterise the genetic diversity of the hatchery broodstock and progeny arrays relative to the natural populations. To refine and/or recommend policies and strategies for the sustainable management and enhancement, through ranching, of H. scabra fisheries.,
