Seahorses are very similar to their counterparts of chess.The body of the fish is curved, is located on the back hump, belly jutting forward, his neck arched like a horse
.Fish head, by which it can move only up and down, is at an angle of 90 degrees relative to the body.Lateral ridge turns available.If other marine animals have been arranged in this way, then they would have difficulty with vision.But the ridge, this problem is not threatened because it has features.Both his eyes are functioning quite independently: move apart and look everyone in the party.Therefore, seahorse can see everything that happens around.Tail in the real state of the fish is twisted into a spiral.
interesting system by which move seahorse.These fish swim bag is filled with gas.By varying its concentration, these sea creatures are moving in the water.If there is a loss of a certain amount of gas or swim bag is damaged, and sinking fish dies.
Very rarely are favored by seahorses.Photos of these clusters can be obtained infrequently.But they can be found in pairs, since these fish are monogamous, but sometimes change partners.It is remarkable that these marine creatures hatching eggs.And it carries a male horse.The male has a large pouch in the lower part of the body, under the belly.Armor on the site is missing.In the mating season seahorses come close to each other, firmly pressed, and the female lay eggs directly into this pouch where eggs and fertilized.Skin innards handbags are spongy, and through the power of the eggs takes place, and then - fry.
Cubs are born after 1-2 months depending on the species, a completely formed.It replicas of their parents, but smaller.Skates are extremely fertile.During the mating season the fry appear every four weeks.Their appearance on the light is regulated by the tides as the water receded from the shoreline, can carry out the depth of the little seahorses.The number of fry in a season can reach 1000 individuals.Leaving the bag skates begin a completely independent life.
Photo seahorse is quite difficult to do: they are too timid, although the armor covering the whole body, very strong, and protects the fish from
all kinds of marine predators.A multiple spikes and leather growths located throughout the body create a good disguise, making them completely invisible among the seaweed.The size of these fish are small - from 2 to 30 centimeters, depending on the species.
Seahorses belong to the order gasterosteiformes, the family of a needle, that is, the fish - close relatives of sea needles.Total in nature, there are about 50 species of seahorses.The largest of them is called sea dragons.Currently, the number of some species is declining rapidly due to mass trapping.Meat skates used in cooking and medicine in Asia, the dried fish are popular as souvenirs.
