“…It is believed that many physoclistic teleosts, such as seahorses, have to ingest air to initially inflate the swimbladder (Steen 1970;Martin-Robichaud & Peterson 1998). If juvenile H. abdominalis are confused by the white tank coloration, and if the pneumatic duct connecting the foregut and swimbladder closes before successful inflation, ingestion of air by the juveniles in an attempt to fill their swimbladders could result in air bubbles trapped within the gut.…”

A small-scale preliminary investigation into the breeding and rearing of the seahorse Hippocampus abdominalis Leeson, 1827 in New Zealand was conducted using 12 wildbroodstock. These broodstock were maintained in a hatchery for breeding and the breeding behaviours exhibited by these were observed and described. Over a period of 6 months a total of 12 broods of juveniles were produced. These were then raised on a diet consisting mainly of enriched Artemia for a period of 1 year. After this period juveniles had reached a mean ± 1 SE total length of 110.73 ±0.13 mm, mean ± 1 SE wet weight of 3.07 + 0.23 g, and were reproductively mature. The mean + 1 SE survival per brood after 1 year was 10.57 ± 3.49%.

“…Studies have concentrated on showing the effects of environmental colors on some mammals (1), birds (2) and fish (3), but the mechanisms are still unknown. In fish, some studies have shown that environmental color affects growth (4)(5)(6), feeding (7)(8)(9), food conversion rate (10), stress (10,11), aggression (12), and egg development (13).…”

We investigated the effects of environmental color on the reproductive behavior of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. Two environmental colors were tested by covering the aquarium (60 x 60 x 40 cm) with white (12 groups) or blue (13 groups) cellophane and observing reproductive behavior in groups of 2 males (10.27 ± 0.45 cm) and 3 females (10.78 ± 0.45 cm) each. After assignment to the respective environmental color (similar luminosity = 100 to 120 Lux), the animals were observed until reproduction (identified by eggs in the female's mouth) or up to 10 days after the first nest building. Photoperiod was from 6:00 h to 18:00 h every day. Food was offered in excess once a day and water quality was similar among aquaria. Daily observations were made at 8:00, 11:00, 14:00 and 17:00 h regarding: a) latency to the first nest, b) number of nests, c) gravel weight removed (the male excavates the nest in the bottom of the aquarium), d) nest area, and e) mouthbrooding incubation (indication of reproduction). The proportion of reproducing fish was significantly higher (6 of 13) in the group exposed to the blue color compared the group exposed to the white color (1 of 12; Goodman's test of proportions). Moreover, males under blue light removed significantly larger masses of gravel (blue = 310.70 ± 343.50 g > white = 130.38 ± 102.70 g; P = 0.01) and constructed wider nests (blue = 207.93 ± 207.80 cm 2 > white = 97.68 ± 70.64 cm 2 ; P = 0.03) than the control (white). The other parameters did not differ significantly between light conditions. We concluded that reproduction in the presence of blue light was more frequent and intense than in the presence of white light.

“…Intermediary photoperiods were also better for larvae survival of other species at the beginning of the feeding (Barahona-Fernandes, 1979;Martin-Robichaud and Peterson, 1998).…”
