[edit] No tildes
somebody didn't add their tildes...
"Sea cucumber as food and medicine" does not even mention anything related to medicine.

[edit] Name
The other day I was in a petting acquarium and I touched a sea cucumber and I think the name is deceptive. A more accurate label for this character would be a sea poo or a millipoo.

[edit] Breathing through Bottom
I have added a link to http://www.fegi.ru/prim/sea/golot.htm - a page on Holothurians. The fact itself is as interesting as isn't sounds due to the radial symmetry of a Holothurian along the mouth-anus and the positioning of the opening of their "water lungs".Liam Mason 03:07, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pets?
I love these fascinating animals! Can you keep them as pets?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.52.60.61 (talk • contribs) . 16:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Neutral POV
The Food and Medicine section began with "Sea cucumber is one of the strangest foodstuffs in Chinese cuisine." I'm going to say that this doesn't adhere to a neutral point of view. I've removed it. --justing magpie 18:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- ...I think that the entire Food and Medicine section needs to be redone. I'm going to attempt to locate sources for those facts and maybe streamline the whole thing. Feel free to assist... --justing magpie 18:14, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Free-swimming forms
Could really use some of the free-swimming forms. I'll grab a picture of that old German diageram they have at my Uni. Adam Cuerden talk 06:26, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] From former "Bêche-de-mer" article
For reference and addition to this article:
- Bêche-de-mer is a kind of large sea cucumber (genus Holothuria) that is eaten in China, Japan, and Indonesia. It is dried for preservation purposes and has to be rehydrated by boiling and soaking in water for several days for the sea cucumber to absorb the liquid back. It is mainly used as an ingredient in soup or stew. In Malaysia, it is called trepang (Malay trīpang) , in Chinese it is "hai sum", the Japanese call it "namako" and in the Philippines it is called "balatan". The trade in Trepang, between Macassans seafarers and the aborigines of Arnhem Land, to supply the markets of Southern China is the first recorded example of trade between the inhabitants of the Australian continent and their Asian neighbours.
- Holothuroidea is a class of marine animals. The largest American species is Holothuria floridana, which abounds just below low-water mark on the Florida reefs.

[edit] Farmed or wild caught?
Are sea cucumbers farmed? If so, how, and on what scale? Kent Wang 15:57, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Taste
"...but may be unappetising on its own", sea cucumbers are very flavorful on its own. If you never had one, I suggest you try some at a local Chinese restraunt. Lightblade 22:06, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
