Description Not Available
Identification of an individual seahorse is important
for captive breeding and conservation studies. A simple
and cost-effective tagging method was devised to suit
the rigid body structure and small fins of Hippocampus
kuda. The first generation sexually matured individuals
(452 numbers) were tagged using plastic strips
tied around the neck. No significant differences (P >
0.05) in growth between the tagged and untagged
groups were noted. All the tags persisted for one year
without any perceptible changes in sexual and social
behaviour.
