Three sizes of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus were cultured in abalone cages, and survival and growth were monitored semi-monthly or monthly, from December 2007 to May 2008, using fermented seaweed as feed. The sea cucumbers in four sites had high survivorship (≥83%). Growth of large individuals (~70 g mean live weight) was slow when densities reached approximately 5 ind. layer-1. Growth rates were negatively correlated with culture densities; for large juveniles at high densities, growth rates were the same as those for medium sized juveniles (about 30 g mean live weight) and small juveniles (50 g mean live weight) that were not stunted at high densities. Juveniles of all three sizes grew progressively except after April when sea temperatures increased.
