We studied fecundity, survival, and growth of the seahorse Hippocampus ingens under semi-controlled conditions. Three wild brood stock mature males of 14.8, 24.5, and 32.0 g released 1,598, 1,703, and 1,658 juveniles. Juvenile stocking densities of 12 were settled in 60-1 aquariums in groups of 1, 12, and 20 days old organisms. The rate of survival was 21.5, 61.9, and 59.0%, respectively, in 35...

The increasing discoveries of new species the family Lucinidae in last two decades indicated a surprising diversity chemosynthetic lucinids deep sea, especially Indo-West Pacific. However, only few records have been reported from South China Sea. A lucinid Elliptiolucina subovalis sp. nov. is here deep-sea cold seep site distinct its congeners by possessing strong anterior lateral tooth on righ...

Squid spermatophores are complex structures that store sperm and, when transferred to the female, evert into spermatangia. Some deep-sea squid implant spermatangia into unmodified tissue of the female. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain this peculiar implantation process. Here, through on board observation of freshly caught deep-sea squid (Moroteuthis ingens), we show for the firs...
