Abstract	Sea cucumbers are presently overfished and proper management of this resource is urgently needed (Purcell et al. 2013). The availability and quality of major market statistics are important tools for understanding the evolution of sea cucumber exploitation and trade routes (Conand 1993; Jaquemet and Conand 1999). Hong Kong is considered to be the major trade hub for the trade in sea cucumbers and as such, plays an important role in the import and re-export of dried sea cucumber product (referred to as either beche-demer or trepang). Following the recent paper by To and Shea (2012) on the patterns and dynamics of the beche-de-mer trade in Hong Kong for over 16 years (from 1996 to 2011), this paper presents the latest available data for 2012. The statistics are extracted from the database of the Census and Statistics Department of the Government of Hong Kong (Special Administrative Region). Table 1 presents the code and description of the imports and reexports (exports are not taken into account here, as only negligible quantities are presented).
