Abstract

Sea cucumbers are popularly called holothurians, belong to the phylum Echinodermata, which is a distinct phylum in the animal kingdom and are significant members of benthic invertebrate communities occurring in all of the major oceans and seas of the world. Echinoderms possess radial symmetry (generally pentamerous), an intradermic skeleton consisting of closely fitted plates, articulated plates, or ossicles, and a peculiar water vascular system of fluid-filled tubes.
