Hippocampus kelloggi artificial breeding method

2013 
The invention discloses a hippocampus kelloggi artificial breeding method. According to the method, male and female hippocampuses, which are aged 1-2 and are healthy, intact, large and fat, are selected to be parent hippocampuses and then separately raised inside nursery ponds; after a period of intensive breeding, the gonad of the parent hippocampuses are nearly mature, during the breeding process, artificial heating is necessary, then the parent hippocampuses are polycultured and then spawn at a individual ratio of 1:1; female hippocampuses in the parenting period are intensively bred and protected, the operation is required to be soft and rapid, the out-water duration cannot be too long and the temperature difference should be less than 2-3 DEG C for avoiding abortion of the male hippocampuses; after giving birth, the male hippocampuses need to be removed out immediately for being bred away from hippocampus fry and accordingly are prevented from devouring or harming the hippocampus fry. The hippocampus kelloggi artificial breeding method provides technical support and theoretical foundation for large-scale commercialized hippocampus culture. According to the hippocampus kelloggi artificial breeding method, the breeding cost is reduced by 50-60%, breeding water quality can be easily controlled through the detection of various water quality indicators before hippocampus stocking, further high survival rate and high growth rate of the hippocampuses can be guaranteed.
