3.4.2. Amylase activity
Peak amylase activity in the small and large-sized sea cucumbers occurred at 22:00; whereas, the highest amylase activity in medium-sized sea cucumbers appeared at 02:00. The lowest amylase activity for all sizes occurred at 16:00 (Fig. 7B). Both time-related and size-related differences in sea cucumber amylase activities were significantly different (P b 0.05). In addition, a significant interaction was detected between different times and sizes (Table 3).
