It has the efficacy in nourishing the kidney and st rengthening the human body.Holothurin is the main constituent in sea2cucumber abst ract with water. Present paper reports its activity of prohibiting Cd2 +2mutagen to be absorbed and accumulated by the prawn body ( Penaeus orientalis) and decreasing it s genotoxicity. All those were verified by chemical analysis with PRGP and mutagenic test with Trad2MCN.

Key words: Sea2cucumber abst ract, Cadmium, Mutagen, Penaeus orientalis, Trad2MCN test
