Koehler & Vaney, 1906

Group of Holothuria arguinensis.

Holothuria arguinensis is a species of sea cucumber in the family Holothuriidae and subgenus Roweothuria.[1] It is found in waters off the northeast Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea.[2][3] According to some scholarly research, the species is actively expanding its range and colonizing the south-eastern coast of Spain.[4]

The species lives on sandy and seagrass beds in shallow waters and up to depths of 52 meters.[3][5] It has a rigid and somewhat cylindrical body. A mature specimen can be 35 cm long and weigh 270 grams. Spawning is in summer to autumn.[5] Reproduction success depends on environmental factors, primarily availability of daylight and water temperature – other likely factors include abundance of food, tidal flow and water salinity. The species is a fishery resource and in demand in Asian markets.[3]
