摘要

The relationships between temperature and burying and feeding behaviour of adultHolothuria scabra (sandfish) within a diel cycle was investigated. Animals were kept inaquaria in a constant light regime (14 h/10 h) and temperature was reduced 1°C each dayfrom 24°C to 17°C. Burial state and behaviour (e.g. burying, feeding, resting) was scoredat two-hourly intervals. Faeces were collected to investigate the relationship betweensediment ingestion and temperature. A distinct diel burying and feeding cycle wasexhibited, with most animals exposed and feeding between 13:00 and 20:00, and mostburied and inactive between 01:00 and 09:00. Buried periods increased with decreasingtemperature from 6.7 h per day at 24°C to 14.5 h per day at 17°C. Feeding activitydecreased from 9.8 h a day at 24°C to 0.8 h per day at 17°C. A Generalized Linear Modelshowed temperature had a significant correlation with both feeding (p <0.001) andburying behaviour (p = 0.002). Faeces production also showed a statistically significant (p<0.001) relationship with temperature, and decreased from a daily production of about40 g per day at 24°C to only 17 g per day at 17°C. Knowing when H. scabra will be buriedis thus crucial for conducting visual population surveys for conservation and fisheryresearch. Such surveys must have consistent diel and seasonal timing if results are to bemeaningfully compared. In the southern hemisphere this would be during summer(December to February) from midday to late afternoon.
