Indonesian Sea Cucumber Farming

Indonesian sea cucumber farming involves cultivating sea cucumbers, which are marine invertebrates valued for their culinary and medicinal properties. Farmers sustainably harvest juvenile sea cucumbers from the wild or hatch them in hatcheries, then grow them in controlled ocean enclosures or ponds, providing suitable conditions like temperature, salinity, and food. This aquaculture practice supports local economies, reduces pressure on wild populations, and ensures a steady supply for markets. The process requires careful management to prevent disease and maintain water quality, contributing to environmentally responsible and profitable seafood production.
