Growth rate of tiger tail seahorse (Hippocampus comes Cantor, 1850) in situ and ex situ in the coastal waters of Khanh Hoa province
583 samples were collected from April 2008 to November 2008 in the coastal waters of Khanh Hoa province by diving and trawlers. Height of caught seahorse ranges between 65 - 160 mm, concentrated mainly at sizes of 110 - 140 mm. The correlation between mass and height was shown by exponential function W = 0.00000224 H 3,102 reflecting negative allometric growth. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters were estimated at H∞ = 165.9 mm, k = 0.78. Seahorse from the wild reaches 105.24 mm in height at 6 month age. The height of new born seahorse was 7 - 9 mm. After 4 month 13 days of growth culture (ex situ), seahorse reached 90 - 92 mm, so there is no big differences in growth rates of tiger tail seahorse in situ and ex situ.
