Alaska Aquaculture Aquaculture Development Larvae Tanks Broodstock Tanks Juvenile Setting Tanks Larvae Tanks

Life Cycle Description Male and Females release gametes directly into the water Fertilized eggs develop into a feeding larvae within 5 days Larvae feed in the water column on algae for days Larvae settle out onto the bottom as juveniles Juveniles feed on sediment algae growing ~1mm a month Reproductive at 4 years then spawn annually

The California Sea Cucumber BASIC ECOLOGY: Several color morphs exist throughout the habitat range from the Aleutian Islands, AK to Baja California, Mexico Found at depths of 1ft (~30cm) to 350 ft (~106) in sandy to rocky habitats Feed on sediment algae

The California Sea Cucumber BASIC ECOLOGY: Average size of 1ft (~30cm) and 11oz. (~300g) Reproductive at 4 years Unable to age from natural populations Adults move less then 6ft (2M) daily
