Seahorse breeding enterprises such as Sanma and Huanhua in Dongshan County, Fujian Province, made use of the original land abalone ponds to introduce excellent varieties of American large seahorses and striated seahorses for domestication and breeding, which overcame the technical problems of water quality, water temperature, light, bait and other technical problems. The model of seahorse breeding and factory cultivation has been initially formed and gradually popularized in the county.

Seahorse is known as "Southern Ginseng". It is not only a traditional valuable traditional Chinese medicine, but also a valuable medicine and ornamental fish with high economic value. it is favored by domestic and foreign markets and has a good development prospect. However, sea horses are naturally delicate, and artificial breeding is not easy, which is one of the difficult problems in the field of international research, and there are few successful cases in coastal areas.

According to Chen Zhijun of Dongshan Huanhua Aquaculture Company, 25 seahorse farmers have been developed in Dongshan County, and about 700 ponds have been put into use. At present, it is the best season for seahorses to raise seedlings. The company produces more than 10, 000 seedlings a day, which can be sold as seedlings in more than a month. The semi-finished seahorses with a length of 4-6cm usually have a growth cycle of 6 cents for 7 months. The market price is now 70 yuan each and demand exceeds supply.

Due to the depletion of hippocampal resources, skyrocketing prices and the success of seahorse land factory aquaculture technology, it is of great significance to promote the transformation and upgrading of the current mariculture industry and disperse the risk of aquaculture. Huang Huiquan
