Sea Cucumber Breeding Success - Thursday, December 11, 2014 11:34 PM

This is the first time I've really heard of Sea Cucumber's being bred...no doubt this is for food use, but it would have applications for folks looking to propagate say, a Sea Apple, or those Yellow Sea Cucumbers or the Yellow and Pink ones.  Then again, how many of us really keep ornamental cucumbers.  Functional ones (eg. tiger tails for sand sifting)....so I guess there would be a need.
