Abstract
In India, the Beche-demer-industry is
mainly depending on Holothuria scabra (vella
attai). A hatchery technology for the species
has already been developed in 1988. In addition
to this, another species Holothuria spintfera
(chenna attai, or raja attai) is also being fished
in large quantities and widely processed along
the coast of Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay.
