Seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus), swimming underwater
Seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus), swimming underwater. This species is native to UK and European coasts. It is being bred at Seahorse Ireland, the worlds first seahorse farm. The farm uses large water tanks with constantly circulating water are used and the seahorses fed on a diet of plankton and algae. Seahorse Ireland supplies animals to the aquarium trade and is developing technology that enable farmers in far and South- East Asia to conserve local stocks. Female seahorses produce up to 2, 000 eggs, which are transferred to the males brood pouch for fertilisation and incubation. Many species are endangered through overfishing for the aquarium and traditional Chinese medicine trades

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing Seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus) gracefully swimming underwater. Native to the UK and European coasts, this enchanting species is being bred at Seahorse Ireland, the world's first seahorse farm. The innovative farm employs large water tanks with constantly circulating water, providing an ideal environment for these delicate creatures. Their diet consists of nutrient-rich plankton and algae. Seahorse Ireland plays a vital role in supplying animals to the aquarium trade while also pioneering technology that aids farmers in far and South-East Asia in conserving their local stocks. This groundbreaking initiative aims to combat overfishing, which poses a significant threat to many seahorse species due to demand from both the aquarium industry and traditional Chinese medicine trades. Fascinatingly, female seahorses produce up to 2,000 eggs that are then transferred into the male's brood pouch for fertilization and incubation—a unique reproductive process among marine life. With their populations dwindling, conservation efforts have become crucial for preserving these extraordinary creatures. Through its commitment to sustainable aquaculture practices and marine biology research, Seahorse Ireland exemplifies how agriculture can harmoniously coexist with nature. This remarkable photograph not only captures the beauty of this bony fish but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards protecting our fragile ecosystems and diverse fauna found beneath the waves.
