[Coral-List] Sea cucumber fishery in KenyaRuth,

Reef Check tracks a couple of species of holothurians collected and we do
have some data from Africa available at www.ReefCheck.org/datamanagement.
The SPC publication on this subject may be the best field guide. See their
website at: http://www.spc.org.nc/coastfish/news/BDM/21/

  I don't know if anyone is able to help me with this, but I am due to go
  out to Kenya in under a week to carry out social research on the
  holothurian fishery in Kenya. I am trying to get hold of any information
  (especially pictures) regarding the species which they fish and then
  export to the Asian market.

  Any information would be gratefully appreciated

  Many thanks

  Ruth
