The seahorse - A waltz for life
In the Canary Islands archipelago, on the island of Gran Canaria, a small group of researchers study the short-snouted seahorse, Hippocampus hippocampus. Their aim: to deepen the knowledge of the populations in their natural environment, establish broodstocks in aquarium and optimize breeding techniques in captivity to possibly repopulate the species.
Through the work of those researchers, we familiarize ourselves with the fascinating world of seahorses, in their natural environment as well in aquarium.
