For 10 months of the year, there used to be a huge number of cubs, and now it all depends on breeding.

The area of the ocean on the earth is much larger than that of the land, so marine life is also quite abundant. Today, marine fishing has been quite developed, and almost all the animals that can be eaten in the sea have been eaten by human beings. Even once frightened sharks can not escape the hunting and killing of human beings. As a result, many species are on the verge of extinction. Many countries now have fishing bans, and there are also many marine farms, which slows down the extinction of marine animals to a certain extent, but does not fundamentally solve the problem. Some wild marine animals are now very difficult to see.

In the coastal waters of our country, there is a kind of animal, it is small and lovely, what is more amazing is that it is a kind of "hermaphroditic" animal. This kind of animal is the seahorse, which stands upright in the sea and feeds on plankton. It is called a seahorse because its head looks like a horse's head. Despite the fact that it has something to do with horses, its swimming speed in the water can be said to be "turtle speed". Fishermen can easily catch it near the sea. There used to be large groups of people near seaweed reefs.

With the exception of the coldest January and February of the year, the hippocampus keeps giving birth for the remaining 10 months, producing 400 to 2000 small seahorses in 20 days in the male's belly. But still can not escape the fate of endangered, why?

First of all, the environmental problem, as we all know, the development of the city has led to more serious pollution in the coastal waters than before. Seahorses, which are unable to migrate, are the first to bear the brunt. The consequence of receiving pollution is that a large number of seahorses will die. This is the main reason why the global seahorse is endangered, and it is not a special case in China. In addition, there is another reason in our country, that is, because the unique shape and name of the seahorse is considered to have the effect of tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang, it has become a nourishing medicine and is widely used to make soup and soak wine. therefore, the wild seahorses in our country are not only not enough to eat, but also developed a lot of breeding farms.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the seahorse is also known as "Longluozi", which means the son of the dragon left in the sea. In our country, the dragon itself is a mythical animal with respected status, and the seahorse is taken for granted to be powerful. Not only is it very popular in China's market, but seahorses are precious tonics in Southeast Asia, including Singapore and Indonesia. So seahorse culture is quite promising, but seahorse is a very difficult marine animal, artificial feeding may even lead to a hunger strike, so if you want to develop this area of breeding, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort.
