Description Not Available
The endangered Indian seahorse, Hippocampus kuda
successfully reared in captive conditions for more
than two years, repeatedly spawned and produced F2
generations. In F1 males, brood pouch started developingfrom 55 to 60 days of birth. The courtship behaviour
was noted 30 days subsequently and males
started receiving eggs in their pouch when their body
length attained 101.0 ± 2.0 mm. Females started transferring
eggs into the male brood pouch when their
body length reached 110.0 ± 2.0 mm. The sexual maturity
of male was earlier than that of female. Compared
to the age (in days), the size was inferred as a reliable
factor to predict the onset of maturity in this species.
