Aquaculture could enhance Mediterranean Sea urchin fishery
Although researchers in several countries are working to enhance sea urchin fisheries or commercial production, the development of a major commercial industry has been restrained by the lack of cost-effective production technology.
The odd wedge sea hare is useful as an ‘algae cleaner’
Marine gastropod molluscs known as sea hares are relatively unknown animals that have significant importance in biomedical research due to their particular nervous system. And because of their ability to consume large amounts of algae, they can be very useful in clearwater, marine aquaculture systems.
