{"doi":"10.1111/jwas.12037","title":"The Effects of Different Feed Enrichments on Survivorship and Growth of Early Juvenile Longsnout Seahorse, <i>Hippocampus reidi</i>","abstract":"<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p><jats:bold>Culturing the longsnout seahorse, <jats:italic>Hippocampus reidi</jats:italic>, remains challenging because unlike most cultured seahorse species, <jats:italic>Artemia</jats:italic> is not an optimal first feed. Ideally, more nutritious live feeds such as wild plankton or copepods should be used, but are not always readily available. Therefore, facilities commonly utilize enriched rotifers. Numerous feed enrichment products exist, including Dan's Feed <jats:italic>Artemia</jats:italic> Enrichment<jats:sup>®</jats:sup>, (Dan's Feed) which is a blend of commercially available enrichment products. The aim of this study was to assess the survivorship, growth, and condition factor (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CF</jats:styled-content>) of 0–28  <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">DPR</jats:styled-content> (days post release) <jats:italic>H. reidi</jats:italic> fed with rotifers and <jats:italic>Artemia</jats:italic> enriched with Dan's Feed. This enrichment was evaluated against (1) rotifers and <jats:italic>Artemia</jats:italic> enriched with live alga (<jats:italic>Isochrysis galbana</jats:italic>), and (2) wild plankton and <jats:italic>Artemia</jats:italic> enriched with Dan's Feed. At 28 <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">DPR</jats:styled-content>, in terms of survivorship and growth, seahorses fed with rotifers and <jats:italic>Artemia</jats:italic> enriched with Dan's Feed had a lower <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CF</jats:styled-content> and outperformed those fed rotifers and <jats:italic>Artemia</jats:italic> enriched with <jats:italic>I. galbana</jats:italic>. Seahorses fed with rotifers and <jats:italic>Artemia</jats:italic> enriched with Dan's Feed performed on par with those fed with wild plankton and <jats:italic>Artemia</jats:italic> with no significant difference in <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CF</jats:styled-content>. These findings demonstrated that the culture of <jats:italic>H. reidi</jats:italic> may be feasible with rotifers and <jats:italic>Artemia</jats:italic> enriched with Dan's Feed</jats:bold>.</jats:p>","journal":"Journal of the World Aquaculture Society","year":2013,"id":40232,"datarank":1.2805650507488173,"base_score":3.1780538303479458,"endowment":3.1780538303479458,"self_citation_contribution":0.47670807455219194,"citation_network_contribution":0.8038569761966253,"self_endowment_contribution":0.47670807455219194,"citer_contribution":0.8038569761966253,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":23,"citer_count":22,"citers_with_citation_signal":21,"citers_with_endowment":21,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":null,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":false,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":null,"fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":195223,"name":"Junda Lin","orcid":null,"position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":195843,"name":"Nancy Kim Pham","orcid":null,"position":0,"is_corresponding":false}],"reference_count":0,"raw_metadata":{"has_enrichment":true,"base_score":3.1780538303479458,"endowment":3.1780538303479458,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"18998881","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W1535858144","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"Proaquatix Inc.","grant_id":"","title":null}],"total_grants":1,"fwci":5.5825,"citation_percentile":0.94988161,"influential_citations":2,"citation_trend":[{"year":2013,"count":1},{"year":2014,"count":1},{"year":2015,"count":4},{"year":2016,"count":3},{"year":2017,"count":2},{"year":2020,"count":2},{"year":2021,"count":1},{"year":2022,"count":1},{"year":2023,"count":5},{"year":2024,"count":1},{"year":2025,"count":1},{"year":2026,"count":1}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://api.wiley.com/onlinelibrary/tdm/v1/articles/10.1111%2Fjwas.12037","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/jwas.12037","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jwas.12037","host_type":"journal"}],"fields_of_study":["Aquatic life and conservation","Coastal Management and Development","Marine and Coastal Ecosystems","Biology","Environmental Science"],"mesh_terms":[],"keywords":["Biology","Seahorse","Isochrysis galbana","Juvenile","Zoology","Animal science","Fishery","Ecology","Larva"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Life below water"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-06-12T03:14:15.276472Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
