Indonesia is probably the first producercountry worldwide for teripang or bechede- mer (Conand, 1989, 1990; Tuwo and Conand, 1992; Conand and Byrne, 1993). Little is known about its artisanal fisheries, but overexploitation is occuring in South Sulawesi (Erdmann, 1995). Concern for a rational management of these coastal resources is presently increasing (Hanafi and Suryati, 1994), as for other marine organisms.
