Stichopus cf. horrens is an exceptional sea cucumber species in its taxonomy, ecology, fisheries, and potential for culture. In the Philippines, it is commonly reported and considered a medium- to high-value commercial species. Phylogenetic analysis

Tropical commercial sea cucumber Stichopus horrens is extensively distributed throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific region, and wild stocks are severely depleted over the past decade. This study firstly presented preliminary results on the spawning,

The Stichopodidae comprise a diverse assemblage of holothuroids most of which occur in the Indo-Pacific. Phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial gene (COI, 16S rRNA) sequence for 111 individuals (7 genera, 17 species) clarified taxonomic uncertainties,
