Successfully breeding 3 species of seahorses
Passionate about the species of 'Yang Yang, Kidney Renewal', scientists at Nha Trang Institute of Oceanography (Khanh Hoa) have contributed money, manufactured equipment for the purpose of studying the production process.
Passionate about the species of ' intensified, kidney- nourishing' fish, scientists at Nha Trang Institute of Oceanography (Khanh Hoa) have donated money and manufactured equipment with the aim of studying the process of breeding and breeding commercial fish. horse. And their efforts paid off.
The three species of seahorses that have been successfully propagated are black seahorses (Hippocampus kuda), zebrafish (H. comes), and spiny seahorses (H. spinosisimuss).

With this success, after each month, the institute will successfully breed 5,000 - 7,000 heads in small scale farms, with a capacity of about 20m3 of seawater.
According to Dr. Truong Si Ky, the value of technology for breeding and breeding seahorses is about VND 2 billion. Investment capital for seahorses is not much, but the profit is relatively high, the survival rate is over 70%.

Although artificial breeding, the quality of the seed still ensures good growth , normal growth and high reproductive rate compared to seahorses living in the wild. Fish raised up to six months old will reproduce and reproduce for the F2 generation, closing the life cycle of seahorses.
Dr. Ky added that in the very near future, people can raise seahorses in hatcheries. Especially, Nha Trang Institute of Oceanography also successfully carried out the color transformation of seahorses to serve the ornamental farming.
'Usually seahorses are black but we can turn them yellow, sometimes red' - Dr. Ky said.
According to the scientists of the institute, if you invest well and find a market for seahorses living for medical purposes in China, Hong Kong and raising scenes in Western countries, the economic efficiency will be much higher. times compared to other breeding models.
