    How adaptable is the sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) to salinity?

    The sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) is a stenohaline organism, with a suitable salinity range of 26‰-34‰. When salinity falls below 20‰, large numbers of individuals die and become ulcerated. At water temperatures below 20°C, the higher the water temperature, the stronger the sea cucumber's tolerance to low salinity.
