Sea horses are threatened in the wild due to overexploitation and need captive breeding for conservation and commercial purposes. The document outlines the captive breeding process which includes maintaining broodstock in large tanks with proper water quality and feeding them mysid shrimp. Courtship behavior is observed and young are collected and reared in separate tanks with artemia initially and later mysid shrimp as they grow larger. Proper feeding and water management is critical during the larval and juvenile phases for successful breeding of sea horses.
