Figure 3

(A) Distribution of SKUD occurrence within IOT pens (Belaza, Toliara, Madagascar) between April 2016 and October 2017. The figure shows the monthly number of total sick Holothuria scabra individuals recorded in different IOT pens. The colour-code corresponds to the different pens that were investigated. The dotted line shows the evolution of average daytime temperatures measured in IOT pens (surface water). (B) Proportion of stages I/II and stages III/IV SKUD-affected Holothuria scabra sea cucumbers during selected months (see Fig. 2 for the description of the stages). (C) Organisation of IOT pens investigated in the present study. The map was obtained from Google map (https://www.google.be/maps, accessed in May 2020, Images 2020 Maxar Technologies, Images 2020 CNES/Airbus).
