A hippocampus

The hippocampus is a very unique biological world ocean. Their head and neck shape like a horse, so they are called "hippocampus" or "naval code". They have the ability to change the color of the body and the surrounding environment, therefore, these fish horses have very diverse colors. Let's find out these mysterious interesting creatures!

1. The secret of the hippocampus

The hippocampus is special!

Do you know no Linyu as we imagine, there are the bones of the body in the outside? They have no teeth and stomach. Because of this, the food into the digestive system, and then quickly leave. This would explain why to eat hippocampus and hippocampus using continuous pumping mouth and small animal plankton near her. Some horses are "all fish", they can eat shrimp sea for 3000 hours a day [1].

It has very good eyesight. Their eyes can work independently, such as an eye to see in front of and behind the eyes. This is very useful, looking at the dangerous food and observation.

In swimming is good. They move through the beating of a small fin at a speed of 35 consecutive / sec. In the small part of the pectoral fin, the back of the head, such as rudder for the hippocampus.

In the tail is very special, it has the ability to keep the wound in the small plants are not water for the hippocampus.

Hippocampal growth?

Unlike other fish, fish, the horse is an animal is "loyal". They have only one partner, hippocampus and hippocampal association did not hatch to take care of you.

The hippocampus in abdominal mass like kangaroos)! When mating, the female spawning pocket male, and male sperm and eggs in your body. Male eggs until hatching, the new package, launched the development of the complete immature environment. This process lasts about 45 days.

In when you were born, they just use a cotton candy child. They immediately find other horse tail fish swim together, and a small group. The kangaroo, horses, once released, will not come back to my bag in. Hippocampus is only 1 / 1000, your survival and growth.

In the survival of from about 1 to 5 years, was dependent on the hippocampus.

Do seahorses live in where?

The hippocampus can be found in most tropical and temperate sea world. However, most seahorses live in the southeast region of the sea and the Panama Canal, South Africa, especially in the sea, grassland, rupture The HO and mangroves. The world has found 54 kinds of the hippocampus [2].

In Vietnam, there are four, respectively located in the hippocampus coast from north to south.

Hippocampus: in the Beibu Gulf, South Ministry (from Da Nang to ride).

2. A decrease in the hippocampus a day!

At present, in the list of endangered animal red rank in the international convention to ban trade and world trade in trade in wildlife is critically endangered (Reference) [3] in Vietnam with. M, we also observed in the hippocampus were greatly decreased.

3. Why?

In the hunting and trade market, the traditional treatment in many places from Vietnam and China hippocampus treatment of bone and joint diseases and physiological. The hippocampus also hunted, keep in the aquarium landscape. Here, we can only have died soon after about 6 weeks [4].

In addition, compared to other marine organisms, the hippocampus is very fragile, because of these substances or interrupted the main food source. The swimming ability limit, the hippocampus cannot be K. Regional pollution problems quickly [5].
