Abstract: Depletion of white teatfish, Holothuria fuscogilva is of concern to the Kiribati Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources Development (MFMRD) as it is a high value sea cucumber species and is heavily fished by local fishing companies. The objective of this study is to investigate the potential for restocking white teat fish.
