Growth, feed utilization and energy budgets of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus with different diets containing the green tide macroalgae Chaetomorpha linum and the seagrass Zostera marina
A laboratory experiment was conducted to understand the possibility of C. linum as a food source for A. japonicus. A. japonicus eating larger quantities of C. linum presented higher SGRs. C. linum could replace S. thunbergii as a food source for A. japonicus.
