Research advances on the biological characteristics and breeding technology of seahorse(Hippocampus abdominalis)
The seahorse(Hippocampus abdominalis)inhabits southwestern Pacific Ocean and the wa-ters near Oceania and New Zealand.Its large size,strong disease resistance and high survival rate in seedling cultivation make this species high in medicinal and economic values.In recent years,continu-ous global climate change has been impacting the marine ecosystems and reducing the natural resource of this species.Such scenario is even becoming worse due to the market demand increase.As a result,H.abdominalis has been listed in Appendix Ⅱ of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora(CITES).The researches relating to its resource conservation and de-velopment,reproductive biology and aquaculture technology are receiving intensifying attentions.In 2016,H.abdominalis was introduced into China where its artificial breeding of seedlings has met suc-cess and boomed currently.In this paper,we summarized the research findings in the biology and arti-ficial breeding of H.abdominalis,and prospected the research direction,trying to provide a powerful reference for the resource protection and artificial breeding technology development of H.abdominalis.
