Hi, in Mexico we face this problem as well, the brown sea cucumber is actually on our top 10 most iconic endangered species list. I would like to start a sea cucumber farm here, and would appreciate advice from an expert.

In Malaysia they use sea cucumber (known as gamat by local) as effectice medicinal remedies. It may not a beautiful creature, but have lots of benefit for ecosystem and economic value in future. Even China is starting to do commercial farming and harvesting on this.

Sea cucumbers are quite yummy. It's not for aphrodisiac purposes, but people eat them because its another food source like fish.
@inesdelahoya20455 жыл бұрын
The sea cucumber is not regarded as an aphrodisiac, at least in the majority parts of Asia I’ve been to, but Indeed a much-sought-after, constantly-in-demand and terribly expensive delicacy; i.e.: ~$300/kg for upper-middle grade dry product. It is proven by science to be healthy - potent with collagen, protein, other nutrients and beneficial properties, and no cholesterol.

@@RBuckminsterFuller Yes. There is such logic when applying to certain food, such as rhinoceros horns or the Vietnamese eating cow penises; however, in this case, it DOES NOT apply, as the Chinese and the Japanese eat sea cucumbers simply for their gastronomic pleasure, with NO consideration of any other department -- as written already in my previous comment: "The sea cucumber IS NOT REGARDED as an aphrodisiac...". Thank you.

It is also considered a restorative for tendonitis and arthritis."

And then the sea cucumber, well, they... I mixed up. There was a mollusk and a sea cucumber. None of them were walking, so forget that... There was this mollusk and he walks up to a sea cucumber. Normally they don't talk, sea cucumbers, but in a joke, everyone talks. So just then, the sea cucumber looks over to the mollusk and says, "With fronds like these, who needs anenomes?"
