Materials and methods: In this study, the composition of the muscle building component of S.herrmanni sea cucumber from the coasts of Qeshm Island, after collecting samples and preparation, its protein content by using Kjelledal, fat by Soxhlet, Ash, Carbohydrate, Moisture and total number Growth microorganisms at 30 degrees Celsius were measured according to standard methods in the processed product. Results: The results showed 67.9% protein, 1.09% fat, 7.35% carbohydrate, 17.24% ash and 8% moisture per 100 g of dried and processed product of S.herrmanni species. Conclusion: Sea cucumber of Stichopus herrmanni species in the Persian Gulf has a high nutritional value in terms of high protein and low fats. It can be cultivated and processed for export it to the consumer countries in terms of optimal consumption or profitability and Economic activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
