Popis: | The features of asexual reproduction, autotomy, and regeneration in five species of holothurians from the Order Dendrochirotida which live in the Nha Trang Bay of the South China Sea were studied. In Colochirus robustus, the ability to perform fission was corroborated. It was shown that Cladolabes schmeltzii can redivide without completing its regeneration after a previous division. This process is similar to the fragmentation of other holothurians. The features of autotomy and regeneration in Colochirus quadrangularis, Ohshimella ehrenbergi and Massinium magnum were described for the first time. |
