The sea cucumber (class Holothuroidea) holds significant commercial value due to strong global demand, especially in East and Southeast Asian markets. Overexploitation of wild stocks has thus driven aquaculture expansion; however, current culture methods remain inadequate to meet projected demand or overcome traditional practice limitations. As evolutionarily ancient endogenous bioactive molecules, neuropeptides regulate diver...

Over the past four decades, substantial research has investigated the regulation of ovarian maturation and spawning in the black tiger prawn ( Penaeus monodon ). In this species, female reproduction is strongly suppressed by gonad‐inhibiting hormone (GIH) released from the eyestalk, making eyestalk ablation (ESA) the most widely adopted spawning‐induction strategy in aquaculture. Despite its effectiveness, the endogenous mecha...
