A sea cucumber Stichopus mollis. Little is known about this animal, but as an efficient cleaner it is believed it plays an important role in the delicate ecology of the fiords. Last year the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries gave permission for 73 tonnes of the cucumbers to be harvested for export to the Asian market where they are regarded as a delicacy.
