Factors that have decimated the species include warming sea temperatures and invasive fish that eat algae, depriving the urchins of a diet staple. Again, the underlying cause is an imbalance...

Urchin size and feed type had no significant effect on gonad texture, but both factors significantly influenced gonad firmness and taste. Gonads of urchins fed the prepared diet were significantly softer and had significantly more water than those fed kelp. Gonad firmness and percent change in ...
These calcifying marine invertebrates are now a focus of intense research as over-fishing of sea urchins for human consumption has reduced their natural populations worldwide2. The roe (gonad) is the only edible part of the sea urchin. It is considered a high quality seafood product and its ...
The teeth and bones are sometimes stained purple as a result of eating sea urchins. Unlike other mustelids, the Sea Otter does not have a functional anal scent glad. It is considered a keystone species, helping to control the sea urchin population. A group of resting otters is called a raf...
