Abstract

Abstract

The dorsal ossicles of 6 Holothurians in South China Sea were observed with scanning electron-microscope (SEM).The results show that there are 3 types of rosettes and a type of rods in Bohadschia argus, 2 types of tables and a type of buttons in Holothurial eucospilota, 2 types of tables, a type of C-shaped rods and a type of rosettes in Stichopus hermanni, 4 types of rods in Thelenota ananas, a type of rosettes in Actinopyga lecanora, a type of rods, a type of pseudo-tables and a type of miliary granules in Thelenota anax.Comparison with the previous reports shows that the tables' disc of H.leucospilota is perforated by only one large central hole but not 4 holes, and the cross beam did not exist in S.hermanni's tables.Several new types of ossicles are found also.
