    Extractions: Home Random Facts Animals Continents ... Contact As the following seahorse facts will reveal, this horse is in fact a fish. While it can hardly be called a stallion of the sea, it is certainly a popular species. Seahorse Facts Seahorses are members of the pipefish family. It is a graceful inhabitant of the warmer seas swimming upright and looking a little like a chess piece. Seahorses are usually found in shallow, warm water among sea grass beds. They situate themselves near fast-running, deep channels supplying them with plankton. It is a microscopic marine life on which they feed. They wrap their long tails around nearby vegetation in order not to avoid being swept away by the current. Their tails are prehensile, this means specially adapted for grasping around the vegetation.  When it comes to sea horse facts, one stands above all. Sea horses are an unusual species – males become pregnant. Mating season is year-round in tropical seas; in cooler waters in spring and summer coinciding with full moon. Females release eggs into a pouch on the males’ abdomen. He fertilizes them and nourishes them with a special fluid secretion when the eggs attach themselves to the spongy pouch wall. Nearly fifty young are released from his pouch after gestation period is over. A seahorse can use each eye independently from the other. This allows it to search for prey without moving its body. Seahorses feed on plankton and other small fish. The seahorse can snap the prey up from an inch and a half away. Since its coloration acts as camouflage in all surroundings, it can avoid most predators. It can change from gray or black to vivid yellow or purple within seconds.

    Extractions: Post a Comment We are going to get acquainted with a very extraordinary creature - a Sea Horse. This is not a four-legged horse that lives in the sea, but a strange little fish that looks remarkably like a horse, as you can see in the picture. Actually it is only its head that looks like a horse's. But isn't the head the most important part of any animal? What's more, it holds its head upright all the time, and this gives it the appearance of a serious, dignified and intelligent horse. If you play chess, you can see that it looks just like the knight on the chessboard. The little seahorse is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating of fishes; perhaps one of the most extraordinary creatures in the whole animal kingdom. Come along with us, and you will see that we are not exaggerating. Seahorses are found in tropical and temperate seas in many parts of the world. They usually live in shallow waters. A variety of large seahorses inhabit the coastal waters of the west coast of the Americas, from southern California to northern Peru. It reaches a length of one foot. In the western Atlantic, especially along the coasts of Florida, the Gulf, and Caribbean, a smaller variety of seahorses live, averaging about 4 inches but often reaching a length of eight. By comparison, the Dwarf Seahorse of Florida measures only one inch, and never exceeds two inches.

68. General Information About Sea Horses
    Systematics Sea horses are members of the Teleost suborder, or bony fish. They belong to the Family Syngnathidae and most are in the Genus Hippocampus.

    Extractions: Sea horses are members of the Teleost suborder, or bony fish. They belong to the Family Syngnathidae and most are in the Genus Hippocampus. Some other sea horse genera include Acentronura and Phyllopteryx. There are about forty total species of sea horses in these three genera (Crowder 1928). Four species are known to live in the United States. These include: Hippocampus zosterae , the dwarf sea horse; H. reidi , the longsnout sea horse; H. ingens , the Pacific sea horse; and H. erectus , the lined sea horse (Matlock 1992). Sea horses usually occur in the tropics or along temperate coasts. They prefer a vegetated habitat over open water because they are poor swimmers. Regardless of whether or not prey are present, sea horses choose to stay in a vegetated environment. In experiments by Flynn and Ritz (1999) the sea horses were found to prefer a habitat of a low-medium complexity, which was defined as 800-2400 blades of sea grass per square meter of sea water. In a survey of the sea horses that occur along the coast of Great Britain, Garrick-Maidment (1998) found that the sea horses spent the warmer summer months in the shallow water. During the winter the sea horses preferred to move into deeper water where they could overwinter to avoid the severe winter storms.

The name is derived from the resemblance of its head to the head of a horse. The body has an elongated tail and is covered by large, rectangular bony plates. Sea horses are found in various warm and temperate seas near the shore, often in brackish water . The common sea horse (Hippocampus hudsonius) of the Atlantic Coast of North America reaches a length of more than 13 cm (more than 5 in).

    Extractions: Reproduction Physiology Habitat Sea horses are found in tropical to temperate waters. They can be found in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans at depths of 25 to 150 feet below sea level. Sea horses prefer to live in areas where seaweed is present. Sea horses will often form groups by holding onto each others tails. This behavior is primarily done when it is juvenile. Diet Sea horses mainly eat crustaceans. A sea horse will stalk it's prey slowly. It stares at the crustacean until it almost looks disinterested. Then it slowly moves closer while still looking disinterested. When it gets close enough, it attacks the prey with speed and sucks it in through it's mouth. Predators Sea horses are preyed on by other, larger fish, such as sea-perch, cod, and trumpeter fish. They are also preyed on by skates, rays, and sharks. Sea horses try to evade these natural predators by using their speed and camouflage. But sea horses have trouble evading man. Humans catch sea horse for home aquariums and to use in jewelry. Reproduction

    Extractions: In sea horses, the males become pregnant. Their mating involves the female inserting her oviduct into the male's brooding pouch. She does this several times for short intervals to avoid exhaustion. In between the female rests while the male contorts himself to try to get the eggs in place in his brood pouch. After completion the male moves away and attaches himself by his tail to a nearby plant. The female moves away and waits for her oviduct to recede. The oviduct usually recedes within a few hours. The eggs are fertilized and hatch in the male's pouch (Graham 1939). The size of the sea horse brood varies within sea horse species. Some species' broods are as large as 200 (Graham 1939) while others are as small as 8 (Breder 1940). The males are pregnant for several weeks before giving birth to their brood (Vincent, et. al 1992). When they prepare to give birth, the pouch extends to an almost spherical shape. The male also undergoes muscular contortions - a forward and a backward bend - that last for about ten minutes. then in an explosive action the brood leaves the pouch. After the last young sea horse has left, the pouch returns to its normal position, which usually takes about an hour (Breder 1940). Males are ready to re-mate within a few hours of giving birth (Vincent, et. al 1992).
