Abstract:

The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences has begun breeding a special species of seahorse. Hippocampus erectus, one of two native species to North Carolina, have dwindled in number in the wild. The breeding program will not only help bolster the exhibits here in North Carolina, but also afford the opportunity to trade with other museums for live animals that are not on exhibit at the museum.
