Strongylocentrotus Purpuratus
''Strongylocentrotus purpuratus'' is a species of sea urchin in the family Strongylocentrotidae commonly known as the purple sea urchin. It lives along the eastern edge of the Pacific Ocean extending from Ensenada, Mexico, to British Columbia, Canada. This sea urchin species is deep purple in color, and lives in lower inter-tidal and nearshore sub-tidal communities. Its eggs are orange when secreted in water. January, February, and March function as the typical active reproductive months for the species. Sexual maturity is reached around two years. It normally grows to a diameter of about 10 cm (4 inches), consisting of an exoskeleton called a test. They may live as long as 70 years. ''Strongylocentrotus purpuratus'' is used as a model organism and its genome was the first echinoderm genome to be sequenced. Role in biomedical research The initial discovery of three distinct eukaryotic DNA-dependent RNA polymerases was made using ''S. purpuratus'' as a model org ...

Strongylocentrotus Droebachiensis
''Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis'' is commonly known as the green sea urchin because of its characteristic green color, not to be confused with '' Psammechinus miliaris'' as it is also commonly called the green sea urchin. It is commonly found in northern waters all around the world including both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans to a northerly latitude of 81 degrees and as far south as Maine (in the U.S.) and England. The average adult size is around , but it has been recorded at a diameter of . The green sea urchin prefers to eat seaweeds but will eat other organisms. They are eaten by a variety of predators, including sea stars, crabs, large fish, mammals, birds, and humans. The species name "droebachiensis" is derived from the name of the town Drøbak in Norway. Habitat ''Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis'' is found on rocky substratum in the intertidal and up to depths of . It uses its strong Aristotle's lantern to burrow into rock, and then can widen its home with the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sea Urchin
Sea urchins or urchins () are echinoderms in the class (biology), class Echinoidea. About 950 species live on the seabed, inhabiting all oceans and depth zones from the intertidal zone to deep seas of . They typically have a globular body covered by a spine (zoology), spiny protective test (biology), tests (hard shells), typically from across. Sea urchins move slowly, crawling with their tube feet, and sometimes pushing themselves with their spines. They feed primarily on algae but also eat slow-moving or sessility (motility), sessile animals such as crinoids and sponges. Their predators include sharks, sea otters, starfish, wolf eels, and triggerfish. Like all echinoderms, adult sea urchins have pentagonal symmetry with their Echinoderm#Larval development, pluteus larvae featuring Bilateral symmetry, bilateral (mirror) symmetry; The latter indicates that they belong to the Bilateria, along with chordates, arthropods, annelids and molluscs.
