《滇程记》记载：云南百夷地区有小孟贡江，出产一种鱼。当地夷人食用这种鱼后，一天能行房事百余次，因此夷人的本性极其淫乱，无论贵贱都拥有多位妻子。该地区也出产弯姜。《说略》云：这种鱼产于孟贡江，雄性通常多于雌性且在水中游动。夷人常食其肉，一日能御百女。入药时需用雄鱼。具有壮阳道、固精髓的功效，八十岁的老翁服用后，多子嗣。
（共十六种，附四种）
《赤嵌集》记载：海龙产于澎湖澳，冬季时双双跃上海滩，渔人捕获它，称之为珍物。它的头尾像龙，没有牙齿和爪子，大的有一尺多长，可入药。译史说：此物有雌雄之分，雌性为黄色，雄性为青色。功效比海马强数倍，有益于房事。催产效果尤其显著，握住它即可分娩。
《百草镜》云：海马类有三种：小的长度不足一寸，名叫海蛆，不入药；中等的长度一二寸，名叫海马，尾巴盘旋成圈形，身体扁平如马，其性温味甘，能暖水脏（肾），壮阳道，消除瘕块，治疗疔肿、难产及血气痛；海龙是海马中体型极大者，长度从四五寸到一尺不等，都是长身而尾巴笔直，不盘成圈，入药功力加倍。虽然同属一类形状，但略有不同，此物在广州南海也有出产。身体方正，周身呈玉色，有竹节纹，密密排列，光莹耀眼，确实是佳品。《介语》记载：姑又名海马，其中扁平如蜈蚣的，烧焦后服用，主治夜间遗精。
《本草原始》记载：海牛生于东海，属于海蠃类，头部有角像牛，因此得名。它的角坚硬尖锐且有纹路，身体呈苍色，背部有龟背纹，腹部黄白色，有筋，头顶有花点，尾巴像鱼，如今在房中术中多用之。气味咸、温，无毒，主治益肾，固精兴阳。
*Diancheng Ji* records: In the Baiyi region of Yunnan, there is a river called Xiaomenggong River, which produces a type of fish. The local Yi people consume this fish and can engage in sexual intercourse with one hundred women per day; consequently, the Yi people are extremely lustful by nature, and both nobles and commoners have multiple wives. This area also produces curved ginger. *Shuelue* states: This fish is produced in Menggong River; males are usually more numerous than females and swim around. The Yi people often eat its meat and can engage in sexual intercourse with one hundred women per day. For medicinal use, the male fish should be used. It strengthens the Yang pathway (sexual function), consolidates essence and marrow, and when taken by an eighty-year-old man, it promotes fertility.

*Qieyan Ji* records: Sea dragons (Hai Long) are produced in Penghu Bay. In winter, they leap onto the beach in pairs. Fishermen capture them and regard them as precious objects. Their heads and tails resemble those of a dragon, but they lack teeth and claws. The larger ones are over one chi long and can be used medicinally. A translator notes: This creature has male and female distinctions; females are yellow, and males are green. Its efficacy is several times that of Hippocampus (Sea Horse), benefiting sexual performance. It is particularly effective in inducing labor; holding it facilitates immediate delivery.
*Baicao Jing* states: There are three types within the Hippocampus genus: The small ones are less than one cun in length, named Hai Qu (Sea Maggot), and are not used in medicine; the medium-sized ones are one to two cun long, named Hippocampus (Sea Horse). Their tails coil into a circular shape, and their bodies are flat like a horse. Their nature is warm, and their taste is sweet. They warm the Water Zang (Kidney), strengthen the Yang pathway, dissipate mass formations (Jia Kuai), and treat carbuncles, difficult labor, and Qi-Blood pain. The Sea Dragon (Hai Long) is the exceptionally large variety among Hippocampus, ranging from four or five cun to about one chi in length. They have elongated bodies and straight tails that do not coil. Their medicinal efficacy is doubled. Although they belong to the same category and share similar shapes, there are slight differences. This creature is also found in Nanhai, Guangzhou. Its body is square-shaped, jade-colored all over, with dense bamboo-joint patterns, shining brilliantly. It is indeed a fine quality product. *Jieyu* records: Gu is another name for Hippocampus. Those that are flat like centipedes, when calcined and taken, primarily treat nocturnal emission.
*Bencao Yuanshi* records: Sea cows (Hai Niu) inhabit the East China Sea and belong to the Conus (Sea Snail) family. They have horns on their heads resembling those of a cow, hence the name. Their horns are hard, sharp, and striated. Their bodies are dark gray with tortoise-shell patterns on the back, yellowish-white bellies, tendons, floral spots on the crown, and fish-like tails. They are frequently used in sexual arts today. Their flavor is salty and warm, and they are non-toxic. They primarily benefit the Kidney, consolidate essence, and promote Yang.
