Nice one Mark. Reminds me of the huge backlogue of sea cucumber and sea star papers that I have still to complete. On a related matter, a thought occurred to me about deep cucs. Lots of deep-water video footage is being taken in the S. Indian Ocean adjacent to W. Australia (by Fugro I think) in the (thus far fruitless) search for a missing MAS plane. It might be interesting to review this footage for cucumber abundances and possible identities (if the camera is HD). Meanwhile, I attach a cuc paper, published by an Indonesian colleague and myself, that no-one seems aware of !! Regards Dave A/P David J.W.
