The current study aims to conduct a baseline investigation regarding the abundance, distribution and diversity of holothurians inhabiting shallow lagoons in southern and western Mauritius, comparing sites with different degrees of exploitation. During July and August 2011, 78 day time transects covering an area of 35,550 m² recorded a total of 3411 holothurians (152.56 ind. 100 m- ²) at 16 survey sites in shallow lagoons in the west (93.50 ind. 100 m- ²) and south (59.06 ind. 100 m- ²) of Mauritius. These were assigned to 17 species, including ten commercially important ones. The dominant species was Synapta spp. (41.6% of the total).
