Stress responses to mild and acute temperature decrease for two strains of sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

We believe the paper may be of particular interest to the readers of your journal because the study reports that: (1) a preliminary relationship between the changes of soluble proteins, soluble sugars and five biogenic ions in A. japonicus and cold stress is established in the study; (2) the turning point of stress reaction in A. japonicus when suffering low-temperature was found at 0 °C or at 2 °C; and (3) we provide a new stress-resistant sea cucumber variety for A. japonicus culture in farm ponds.
