Seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus), swimming underwater
Seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus), swimming underwater. This species is native to UK and European coasts. It is being bred at Seahorse Ireland, the worlds first seahorse farm. The farm uses large water tanks with constantly circulating water are used and the seahorses fed on a diet of plankton and algae. Seahorse Ireland supplies animals to the aquarium trade and is developing technology that enable farmers in far and South- East Asia to conserve local stocks. Female seahorses produce up to 2, 000 eggs, which are transferred to the males brood pouch for fertilisation and incubation. Many species are endangered through overfishing for the aquarium and traditional Chinese medicine trades

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus) gracefully swimming underwater, revealing the beauty of this unique species. Native to UK and European coasts, these seahorses are bred at Seahorse Ireland, which proudly holds the title of being the world's first seahorse farm. The farm utilizes large water tanks with constantly circulating water to create a suitable environment for these enchanting creatures. Their diet primarily consists of plankton and algae. Seahorse Ireland not only supplies animals to the aquarium trade but also plays a crucial role in conservation efforts by developing innovative technologies that aid farmers in far and South-East Asia in preserving local stocks. This initiative is essential as many seahorse species face endangerment due to overfishing for both the aquarium trade and traditional Chinese medicine practices. A fascinating aspect of seahorses is their reproductive process - female seahorses produce up to 2,000 eggs, which are then transferred into the males' brood pouch for fertilization and incubation. This intricate cycle adds another layer of wonder to these remarkable creatures. Through this mesmerizing image captured by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into the delicate balance between nature and human intervention within marine ecosystems. It serves as a reminder that responsible farming practices can contribute significantly towards wildlife conservation while providing valuable insights into marine biology and aquatic life.
