Summary

Sandfish is arguably the most commercially valuable of the tropical species of sea cucumber that are processed into
bche-de-mer. It is widely distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific, occurring in shallow inshore areas where it is
easily accessible to coastal fishers. This makes it vulnerable to overexploitation, which has happened in most places that it occurs.
This publication is available in French and English.
