Abstract

In a distributional study of the black sea cucumbers, Holothuria atra (Jager) and H. leucospilota (Brandt), at Rongelap Atoll (Fig. 1) the beaches of most of the larger islets were surveyed during September 1959, March 1961, and September 1961. Estimates of abundance and size were made, and observations on temperature tolerance, predation, asexual reproduction by fission, and some other ecological aspects were considered.
