Yes. The female deposits eggs in the male pouch. He osmoregulates and nourishes the clutch until a miniature hatch. A conservation-research group led by Amanda Vincent that supplied much of the CITES and bycatch evidence from the 1990s onward. Documented international trade in dried and live animals met a genus that is sparse, site-faithful and easy to over-collect.
Is the aquarium trade the main take? By volume, dried medicine and curio shipments plus trawl bycatch outweigh hobby live fish in most analyses. Can seahorses be farmed out of the problem? Some live-hobby demand is captive-bred. Dried-trade volume and trawl bycatch are not solved by a hatchery SKU.
A rigid bony plate body and a dorsal fin that buzzes rather than a caudal fluke. Camouflage replaces flight. Many pair; some do not. Daily greeting dances are real in several species and over-generalised in documentaries. Seagrass die-off, mangrove fill and coral damage remove holdfasts. A CITES permit cannot grow a meadow.
The order on the card is year, line, figure. Seahorse is not sorted by how much visitors like the photo.2010s
