Early development of the longsnout seahorse Hippocampus reidi (Syngnathidae) within the male brood pouch "Fertilized and unfertilized eggs and embryos of the longsnout seahorse Hippocampus reidi were collected at different stages of development and provided the basis for a description of morphological development from fertilization until release from the paternal pouch. Pregnancy The male seahorse has a pregnancy in just the same way as females of other species. Seahorses provide an ideal opportunity to test our understanding of the evolution of sex differences because of their unique specialization for parental care. The males pouch provides the essentials needed from the eggs to survive. The Seahorse Reproductive System. Only 10% to 40% of the total gonads released are actually fertilized. When it is time to mate the female will deposit as many as 1,500 eggs into that pouch. The male seahorse has a pouch on its stomach in which to carry babiesas many as 2,000 at a time.

The male will carry the fertilized eggs throughout the gestation period until they are hatched. The sea horses have external fertilisation because the female expels the eggs from his body to the male sac. Seahorses are under threat worldwide for three main reasons: The Traditional Chinese Medicine Trade takes in excess of up to 150 million seahorses a year from the wild and these are used for all types of medicine.The Curio Trade takes approximately one million seahorses from the wild.

Reproduction In a reproductive role reversal unique to seahorses and others in the family Syngnathidae (which also includes pipefish and sea dragons), T or F- some seahorses are poinsonous. The male seahorse has a brood pouch where he carries eggs deposited by the female. The male seahorse becomes pregnant instead of the female. The eggs and sperms collide with each other and fertilization may take place. The males supplies the eggs with prolactin, which is similar to the hormone that produces milk in pregnant mammals. After a baby seahorse is born, there is little chance that it will grow to become an adult. This means that they mate by releasing their sex cells into the water. Seahorses are tiny fishes that are named for the shape of their head, which looks like the head of a tiny horse. After completing an elaborate courtship dance that may go on for hours or days, the female seahorse transfers her mature eggs into the males brood pouch, where they are fertilized.

Sexual reproduction requires two parents, a male and a female, traits are combined from both and offspring are not an identical copy of either parent. True. While this is quite different from most other animals behaviors, it is key to how seahorses survive in their habitat.

Males and females are easy to sex, form permanent pair bonds, and breed continuously throughout the year in captivity, often re-mating scant hours after their latest brood has been delivered. Lined seahorse reproduce sexually through internal fertilization. Mare and Foal The mother horse, or mare, carries her foal for 11 months. Notes/Highlights. A female transfers eggs to a males enclosed brood pouch. It has been observed that the male and females will court for several days and during that period of time they will perform dancing rituals. Reproduction is generally cyclic in bony fishes. For the first time, scientists have sequenced the entire genome of a seahorse to discover that it has a higher rate of evolution than any other species of bony fish thats been studied so far.
