The Asia-Pacific tropical sea cucumber aquaculture symposium has been held from 15-17 February 2011 at the Jacques Iekawé Conference Centre, SPC headquarters, Promenade Roger Laroque, Anse Vata, Nouméa, New Caledonia. Organising agencies for the Symposium are the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC).

The Symposium was an ACIAR initiative that focused on the current status of research on tropical sea cucumber aquaculture, covering a range of topics such as:

  • recent advances in hatchery production technology,
  • release strategies, farming techniques,
  • management practices,
  • post-harvest technologies for value adding,
  • supply chains and marketing.

The Symposium identified gaps in current knowledge and generated recommendations for future research to support development of sustainable tropical sea cucumber aquaculture. Symposium proceedings have been published following the meeting and are available from the ACIAR website ( pdf 8.5 MB: http://aciar.gov.au/files/node/14423/pr136_asia_pacific_tropical_sea_cucumber_aquacu_10936.pdf ).

This Symposium has provided a valuable opportunity to bring together key participants who are actively engaged in progressing tropical sea cucumber culture technology and developing its potential to deliver benefits to coastal communities.

Requests for further information about the Symposium should be emailed to: Ms Cathy Hair.
