dc.description.abstract	A total number of 40 Hippocampus kuda were examined to determine age by means of their otoliths. Each individual have three pairs of otoliths which are located in the brain cavity. The growth rings on the otoliths were counted from photographs taken and by sketching using camera Lucida. The otoliths were found to be good age indicators in validating seahorse age. Rings on the otoliths correlated well with age of the seahorses.	en_US
