“…The gonads of sea urchins either fresh or in the form of processed food have long been using as luxury foods in Japan (Shimabukuro, 1991). The peoples of the Asian Pacific Region has also long been using it as a remedy for improving general living tone, treatment for a number of diseases and strengthening of the sexual potency of men, especially the middle aged (Seifullah et al, 1995;Yur'eva et al, 2003). Although, sea urchin gonad has not yet been used as food in Malaysia, it is reported that in Sabah, an indigenous tribe known as 'Bajau Laut' eats sea urchin roe with rice after adding spices (Rahman and Yusoff, 2010;Rahman et al, 2012a;Rahman et al, 2014a;Rahman et al, 2014b).…”

The Indo-Pacific region sometimes referred to as the Indo-West Pacific, is considered to be the richest marine biodiversity hotspot comprising unique species of echinoderms, molluscs, shrimps, crabs and fishes. These bioresources provide excellent opportunities for the studies of breeding biology, reproductive ecology, aquaculture, conservation, population genetics as well as species and speciation mechanisms of many diverged taxa. However, this interesting area is quite new and yet to be fully explored and determined. In the bottom-dwelling sessile invertebrates, echinoderms belonging to the phylum Echinodermata, have been considered the high-valued marine bioresource, having profound biological, aquacultural, conservational, nutritional and pharmaceutical significance. Among them, the sea urchins and sea cucumbers are both commercially fished and heavily overexploited. In sea urchins, the harvested product is the gonad, commonly known as "Sea urchin Roe”, which has been long traditions of consuming as a high delicacy food in Asian, Mediterranean and Western Hemisphere countries, and have long been used as a luxury food in Japan. The population of the Asian Pacific Region has been using it for a long time as a remedy for improving general living tone and treatment for a number of diseases. In the sea cucumber, the principal product is the boiled and dried body-wall or ‘bêche-de-mer’ for which there is an increasing demand in many tropical and subtropical countries. Sea cucumbers are also believed to exert wound healing and reduce arthritis pain in humans, hence are widely used in Asian folk medicine. However, due to a lack of proper management and conservation strategy in place, many sea urchin and sea cucumber fisheries are under threat. For this, cultivation of these species increasingly becomes a necessity, both for stock enhancement programs and as a means to meet the increasing market demand. Procedures for mass production of the tropical Holothuria scabra are now well established in China, India, Australia, Indonesia, the Maldives, the Solomon Islands, Philippines and Thailand. Alike many other marine organisms, echinoderms have been, and continue to be, examined as a source of biologically active compounds with biomedical applications. Most recently, a number of important bioactive compounds have been isolated from sea cucumbers and sea urchins, having distinctive biological and pharmacological activities including anti-angiogenic, anticancer, anticoagulant, anti-hypertension, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antithrombotic, antitumor and wound healing activities. However, development patterns of echinoderm fisheries are largely expectable, often unsustainable and frequently too rapid for effective management. Proper steps should be undertaken on the potential ecosystem and human community consequences, appropriate aquaculture management strategies, and urge for better monitoring and reporting of catch and abundance, proper scientific research for stock enhancement and consideration of international biodiversity and trade regulations to ensure sustainable development and utilization of high-valued echinoderm fisheries to a greater extent.

“…Japanese demand for sea urchin has raised concerns about overfishing, thus making it one of the most valuable sea foods in the world [9]. The population of the Asian Pacific Region has also been using it for long time as a remedy for improving general living tone, treatment for a number of diseases and strengthening of the sexual potency of men, especially the middle aged [5,10]. Sea urchin fisheries have expanded so greatly in recent years that the natural population of sea urchins in Japan, France, Chile, the northeastern United States, the Canadian maritime provinces, and the west coast of North America from California to British Colombia have been overfished to meet the great demand [11−15].…”

The gonads of both male and female sea urchins, commonly known as "Sea urchin Roe", are culinary delicacies in many parts of the world. The roe of sea urchins is considered as a prized delicacy in Asian, Mediterranean and Western Hemisphere countries and have long been using as luxury foods in Japan. Japanese demand for sea urchins raised concerns about overfishing, thus making it one of the most valuable sea foods in the world. The population of the Asian Pacific Region has been using it for long time as a remedy for improving general living tone and treatment for a number of diseases. Sea urchin gonads are also rich in valuable bioactive compounds, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and β-carotene. PUFAs, especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5) (n-3)) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA C22:6 (n-3)), have significant preventive effects on arrhythmia, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. β-Carotene and some xanthophylls have strong provitamin A activity and can be used to prevent tumor development and light sensitivity. Sea urchin fisheries have expanded so greatly in recent years that the natural population of sea urchins in Japan, France, Chile, the northeastern United States, the Canadian Maritime Provinces, and the west coast of North America from California to British Colombia have been overfished to meet the great demand. Not surprisingly, the decrease in supply and the continued strong demand have led to a great increase in interest in aquaculture of sea urchins. Most, if not all, sea urchin fisheries have followed the same pattern of rapid expansion to an unsustainable peak, followed by an equally rapid decline. World landings of sea urchin, having peaks at 120,000 mt in 1995, are now in the state of about 82,000 mt. However, over half this catch comes from the recently expanded Chilean fishery for Loxechinus albus. In Europe, the sea urchin stocks (Paracentrotus lividus) of first France and then Ireland were overfished in the 1980s to supply the French markets. These decreasing patterns clearly reflect the overexploitation of most fishery grounds and highlight the need for conservation policies, fishery management and aquaculture development. When the wild stocks decline, high market demand for food, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, raises the price of the product and, as a result, culturing is most likely to become commercially viable. As this review shows, there have been dramatic advances in the culture methods of sea urchins in the last 15-20 years; we can conclude that currently the major obstacles to successful cultivation are indeed managerial, cultural, conservational and financial rather than biological and ecological. Therefore, the fate of the sea urchin
