In response to the growing demand for sea urchin gonads (roe or uni) in Asian and European markets and the concerns regarding the overexploitation of wild populations, this preliminary study addresses the need for cost-effective protocols in echinocu...
Sea urchins play an important role in coastal marine ecosystems and are an economically valuable resource for their gonads (roe or uni). Increased demand by Asian and European countries caused overfishing of wild stocks resulting in a sharp decline o...
Sea urchin (Paracentrotus lividus) echinoculture offers a promising solution to meet high gonad demand and mitigate overfishing. Concurrently, the invasive seaweed Rugulopteryx okamurae threatens coastal ecosystems. This study evaluated R. okamurae a...
The red spotting disease harms sea urchins to the extent of mass mortality in the ocean and echinocultures, accompanied by environmental damage and economic losses. The current study emphasizes the antimicrobial resistance of three isolated bacteria,...
