Description
Adriana Rodríguez-Forero and co-authors study heat needs of a tropical sea cucumber in a 2024 paper. The species is Isostichopus isabellae, a sea cucumber that may be farmed. The team kept 60 animals in tanks to learn what heat range suits them best. They tested growth, survival, and heat choice over 30 days.
Animals were held at 23 and 26 degrees, and their choice was tracked across a 20 to 29 degree range. They chose the heat they were used to, and the best survival, at 86 percent, was at 23 degrees. Weight loss did not differ between the two tank heats. The team found the top heat limit near 36.5 degrees and the low limit near 8 degrees. They advise farms to hold tanks near 23 degrees.
