Abstract

Pond and aquarium keeping of seahorse (Hippocampus kuda) is challenging because of their feeding habits. Although seahorse is a purely active predator, we successfully raised laboratoryproduced young on inert feed and evaluated the effects of readily-available cost-effective food items on their growth and survival
