La distribucion batimetrica reportada para erizos de interes comercial va desde el intermareal hasta cientos de metros, aunque estudios reportados a profundidades mayores que 25 m son escasos. Se espera que erizos que habitan sitios someros tengan acceso a mas alimento y desplegar un mayor desarrollo gonadico que aquellos erizos de habitat mas profundos. Los erizos en habitat profundo pueden jugar un rol importante para mejorar la resiliencia de las poblaciones explotadas ubicadas en habitat…

Population biology and grazing processes of the sea urchin Centrostephanus tenuispinus (Clark, 1914) inhabiting coral and macroalgal dominated reefs
Sea urchins play a key role as herbivores and bio-eroders, impacting the organization and structure in many marine benthic habitats. Hall Bank reef (32°2.002´S and 115°42.957´E) off Western Australia…
Sampling Procedure for Establishing Criteria for Sea Urchin (Loxechinus albus) Proportion under the Legal Minimum Length of landings

Reproductive cycle and gonadal development of the Atlantic sea urchin Arbacia punctulata in the Gulf of Mexico: changes in nutritive phagocytes in relation to gametogenesis
TLDR
It is suggested that the Atlantic sea urchin spawns during summer months in the Gulf of Mexico, the first report, to the best of the knowledge, on gonadal development and changes in NPs during the annual reproductive cycle of any Arbacia species in the gulf of Mexico.
Morphometrics and processing yield of Cucumaria frondosa (Holothuroidea) from the St. Lawrence Estuary, Canada
TLDR
Stock-specific mass and length recovery rates were estimated for C. frondosa captured by dredging or diving at various depths and seasons on the South shore of the St. Lawrence Estuary, along Gaspé Peninsula, and processed in a commercial plant and Gutted mass was the best metric to predict processed body mass and to estimate size whereas whole body length was the least reliable.

Seasonal foraging activity of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus nudus on coralline flats in Oshoro Bay in south‐western Hokkaido, Japan
TLDR
Bimonthly field investigations of the seasonal foraging activity of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus nudus were carried out in Oshoro Bay of Hokkaido, Japan and it is considered that the time when S. nudus forage actively, during spring and summer, alters due to annual fluctuations in their gonadal development attributable to the biomass of the algal community on which they feed.

The commercial potential of the common sea urchin Echinus esculentus from the west coast of Scotland
TLDR
The data suggest an urchin fishery is likely to be impractical economically and an investigation into the practicalities of a fully farmed approach to gonad production may be worthwhile.
Annual reproductive cycles of the commercial sea urchinParacentrotus lividus from an exposed intertidal and a sheltered subtidal habitat on the west coast of Ireland

TLDR
It appears that inter-annual differences in sea temperature influence the temporal variation in spawning by Paracentrotus lividus and that increasing temperature may serve as an exogenous cue for gamete release.
The operational sex ratio of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus populations: the case of the Mediterranean marine protected area of Ustica Island (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy)
TLDR
Results of sex-selective feeding experiments in the laboratory showed that females of P. lividus Lividus popula were more vulnerable to M. glacialis predation, underline the possible importance of M.glacialis in regulating the OSR of the edible sea urchin.
Effects of sea urchin (Evechinus chloroticus) grazing in Dusky Sound, Fiordland, New Zealand
Abstract Evechinus chloroticus (Val.) is known to be an important grazer of subtidal barren habitats in northern New Zealand but its role in structuring rocky reef communities at colder southern…
Contrasting influence of sea urchins on attached and drift macroalgae
TLDR
It is proposed that spatial subsidies in the form of drift macroalgae result in a weak influence of H. erythrogramma on attached Macroalgae and drift macrophytes at a sub- tidal rocky reef in south-western Australia.
