THE CORRELATION BETWEEN WET AND DRY WEIGHT OF INTESTINE AND BODY WITHOUT INTESTINE OF SEA CUCUMBER (Holothuria scabra)
Abstract: Holothuria scabra is
a commercial tropical sea cucumber species, which has been exploited severely
in recent years. This study was conducted at the Mataram Marine Bio Industry
Technical Implementation Unit for 20 days aiming to determine the relationship
between wet and dry weight of sea cucumbers with and without colon. Results of
regression analysis between wet and dry weight show a significant positive
correlation. The relationship between wet and dry weight without the colon is y
= 0.1685x – 0.2319 (R2 = 0.9236) whereas the wet and dry wet of the intestine
is y = 0.075x + 0033 (R2 = 0.791).
