Sea cucumber, the mystery solved


http://www.fishaq.gov.nl.ca/research_development/fdp/sea_cumcumber.pdf

Click on the site above for a fascinating description of the sea cucumber, the mystery pink blob washed ashore in the storm today. If we'd known their importance we might have harvested them -- maybe. I didn't mind picking up the sculpin or the lobsters, but I did mind (so did Andy, you macho guys) handling the wee squishy pink mystery beast. Thanks to Melody & Donnie Dauphney for the information, and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for the interesting and informative publication on sea cucumbers.
