"Haima" (Hippocampus) has a long history in China as an important traditional animal medicine, but many closely-related members of the Hippocampus genus are also used as Haima in particular regions. To investigate the real origin of "Haima", a herbalogical studies, particularly inpictures and photographs of the ancient literature are corroborated with seahorse specimens in museum, we confirm Chinese material medica "Haima" in China Pharmacopoeia is origin from H. kelloggi, 1901, H.spinosissimus, 1913, H. kuda, 1852, H. trimaculatus, 1814, or H. mohnikei, 1853. The so-called "Ci Haima" is H. spinosissimus, instead of H. histrix, 1856. The paper also suggests to revise of "macroscopical identification" item and add identification methods of "Haima" in China Pharmacopoeia, which may improve quality controls tandards of "Haima".

The massive production and widespread use of plastics have resulted in a growing marine plastic pollution problem. Cold seep ecosystems are maintained by microorganisms related to nitrogen and carbon cycling that occur in deep-sea areas, where cold hydrocarbon-rich water seeps from the ocean floor. Little is known about plastic pollution in this ecosystem.

The deep hydrocarbon fluids discharged into the water column at cold seeps create diverse and heterogeneous habitats on the seafloor. Symbiosis is essential for the survival of marine life in extreme deep-sea environments. Although the symbiotic relationship between chemoautotrophic bacteria and invertebrates has been reported, our understanding of these host-microbe interactions under heterogeneous environment remains limited.

Marine microplastics pose a significant threat to ecosystems, and deep-sea regions serve as critical sinks for these pollutants. Among these regions, cold seeps harbor relatively high concentrations of microplastics. However, research on the aging of microplastics under low-temperature, dark, methane-abundant, and high-pressure conditions remains limited.

Unlabelled: Microorganisms are significant drivers of organic matter mineralization and are essential in marine biogeochemical cycles. However, the variations and influencing factors in prokaryotic communities from cold-seep sediments to the water column and the specific role of these microorganisms in biogeochemical cycles in the water column above cold seep remain unclear. Here, we investigated prokaryotic communities and their roles in nitrogen/sulfur cycling processes and conducted dissolved organic matter (DOM) enrichment experiments to explore the effects of diverse sources of DOM on prokaryotic communities.
