The seahorse has long held a peculiar attraction for mankind.

The Roman God of the Sea, ‘Neptune’ is depicted in a chariot drawn by seahorses. Indeed, scientists recognise the horse-like attributes of these fish and have named them Hippocampus (Greek: hippos = horse and kampos = seamonster).

The seahorses being farmed at Seahorse World include the Pot Bellied Seahorse, Hippocampus abdominalis.

As a result of the work of a team of dedicated young people, this beautiful species is now safe for future generations of people to admire. Nowhere else in the world has a breeding and rearing program for so many species of seahorse been so successful.
