Why the smaller the sea cucumber, the more expensive it is.

The smaller the sea cucumber, the more expensive it is for the following reasons:

The smaller the sea cucumber, the more expensive it is. According to the number of sea cucumbers, the fewer the sea cucumbers, the more expensive they are. The number of sea cucumbers represents the size of sea cucumbers. The fewer the number of sea cucumbers, the larger the sea cucumbers and the higher the nutritional value. Therefore, the more expensive the sea cucumber is. Take 30-50 sea cucumbers as an example. There are 30-50 sea cucumbers per catty. The less the number of sea cucumbers, the greater the weight of a single sea cucumber and the higher the price.

Sea cucumbers belong to invertebrates, echinoderms and sea cucumbers. There are more than 900 species in the world, and there are about 140 species in China. Among them, the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific Ocean are the regions with the largest variety and resources of sea cucumbers in the world.

Sea cucumber belongs to the class Holothuria, which is a marine echinoderm living below 8000 meters by the sea. It has a history of more than 600 million years. Sea cucumbers feed on algae and plankton on the seabed. Sea cucumbers are covered with thorns, which are widely distributed in the oceans of the world. There are many kinds of sea cucumbers along the coast of the South China Sea, about 20 of which are edible. Sea ginseng, bird's nest and shark's fin are equally famous and are one of the eight treasures in the world.

There are more than 20 kinds of edible sea cucumbers produced in China's sea areas, among which Stichopus japonicus has the highest nutritional value, mainly produced in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, namely the coastal areas of Liaoning and Shandong, also known as Stichopus japonicus in the north. Its morphological characteristics are: cylindrical body, 20-40 cm long. There are 20 antennae around the front port.

There are 4-6 rows of bone spurs on the back and 3 rows of tube feet on the abdomen. Body color yellow brown, black brown, green brown, pure white or gray, etc. I like the fine sand seabed and the bottom of rock reefs, with slow and stable water flow and abundant algae.
