Each genus of seahorse has unique features. All posses a fused
jaw snout, long tail and move through the water in a vertical
position. Male seahorses possess a pouch that is used to
incubate the young. Coral reefs and sea grass beds on ocean
floor. Plankton and larval marine life. Seahorses are the only
fish with a neck! They mate for life and may recognize their
mate by dancing. Much of the seahorse world is still a mystery.
Scientists and concerned citizens are working to protect
seahorses from exploitation in the global medicinal, craft and
novelty trade.
