Abstract

Echinoderms are defined as literally spiny skinned animals. These are exclusively marine animals. They are the best-known group of marine invertebrates due to their frequent occurrence in coastal regions, their interesting shapes and volumes, and their macroscopic size. Echinoderm species are abundant both in coral reef communities as in the intertidal and shallow subtidal areas around the world. Echinoderms play an important role in the ecology of the marine ecosystem; they are primary consumers in the food chain cycle in these ecosystems. They are also a source of food and medicine for humans. Echinoderms are considered delicacies in some countries especially south-eastern Asian countries. There are three organisms commonly used in echinoderm groups. These are sea urchins, sea cucumbers and sea stars. Sea urchin and sea cucumber are used as food for consumption, as for sea stars, they are used for decoration and sold as souvenir. In addition, echinoderms are also used in medicine because of the bioactive compounds they contain.
