At least 18 commercial species of beche-de-mer are harvested in Fiji. The main target species are Holothuria fuscogilva, H. whitmaei and H. scabra, although H. scabra is currently banned from export in Fiji. This study examined the impacts of processing methods on the quality and value of beche-de-mer in Fiji Islands. The findings revealed that poor processing methods contributed significantly to the loss in value of dry bechede-mer product. The knowledge and poor understanding of processing techniques by fishermen is a key factor linked to this loss in value.
