Biochemical and calorific content of deep-sea aspidochirotid holothurians from the northeast atlantic ocean

Seasonal biochemical composition of tissues from Cucumaria frondosa collected in the Bay of Fundy, Canada: feeding activity and reproduction

“…Similar results were obtained for Holothuria leucospilota body wall and gonad tissues (Jaya Sree et al, 1994). Carbohydrates were observed to be very low in these previous studies, and Walker et al (1987) also observed this for several species of Atlantic deep sea cucumbers. Jaya Sree et al (1994) concluded that in holothurians low carbohydrate reserves could be associated with minimal contributions from glycogen, which usually is the main storage carbohydrate in animal tissues (Randall et al, 1998).…”
