Effect of invasive tagging on the activity behaviour of Holothuria whitmaei (sea cucumber) at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia

Data were collected to evaluate the practicality of marking the dorsal tegument as a tagging method for short-term mark-recapture studies of holothurians (Holothuria whitmaei, Bell 1887) and to compare the behaviour of 'marked' to 'unmarked' control animals.

本研究采集相关数据，旨在评估将背体壁标记作为标记手段，应用于海参（Holothuria whitmaei, Bell 1887）短期标记重捕研究的实用性，并对比‘标记个体’与‘未标记对照组’动物的行为表现。
