| Orange Sea Cucumber | ![]() |
| RELATIVES
There are about forty species of sea cucumbers known from British Columbia, about eight of these are in the same family as the orange sea cucumber. Sea cucumbers are more distantly related to starfish, sand dollars and sea
urchins. There are no significant interactions between C. miniata and
humans. However, another close relative, the warty sea cucumber, is harvested in
B.C. then exported to Japan for food. |
