Artemia was fed either rice barn, Isochrysis galbana, cod liver oil or microencapsulate diet to increase its nutritive value. These value-added artemias, shrimp larvae and non-treated artemia were then fed to sea horse larvae to evaluate their effects on growth and survival rates of sea horse larvae. The experiment lasted 12 weeks. Sea horse fed with shrimp larvae showed the highest survival rate (94.16 percent) followed by those fed with artemia supplemented with cod liver oil (80.00 percent). Both rates were not significantly different (p0.05). Sea horse fed with artemia supplemented with either I. galbana or microencapsulated treatment had 10 percent survival rates. Sea horse fed with non-treated artemia had the lowest suvival rate of 3.33 percent. In the tenth week, all sea horse larvae fed with artemia supplemented with rice barn died. The growth rates of all treatments were not significantly different (p0.05). It is possible to substitute shrimp larvae with artemia supplemented with cod liver oil for feeding sea horse larvae.
