Seahorse Aphrodisiac Riddle

Indian scientists have just revised 111,000 dollars in funding to research the aphrodisiac properties of seahorses. Seahorses have been sought since 342 BC for there supposed ability as an aphrodisiac and as a cure for respiratory problems. Since they are so popular they have been sought out and fished to near extinction. Scientist hope that by analyzing seahorse's they can find out if they are in fact an aphrodisiac, and if so, isolate the chemical compounds in hope to stop the over fishing and poaching. ~John A Mullins
