Following previous descriptions and knowing that
echinoids (sea urchins) are gonochoric, we argue that existence of ovotestis in Loxechinus albus corresponds to an isolated phenomenon that perhaps depicts a sequential hermaphroditism detected on this occasion first as male, then female.

The mean of gonads weight of 9.9 g (SD = 6.8 g), totaling 500 g for 50

Diademasetosum (Leske, 1778) (Echinometra: Echinoidea: Diadematidae) also known as long-spined black sea urchin, is one of the most common
echinoids that widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific Ocean especially in coral ecosystems,and have profound biological, ecological and aquacultural significance (Lessios et al., 2001; Rahman et al., 2012a).
Sample analysis: Carbon and nitrogen were measured from the muscle of the Aristotle's lantern (
echinoids), and from bulk tissues (algae).
