Seahorses (genus Hippocampus) are eye-catching fishes. Their unusual features, such as a horse-like head, a monkey-like prehensile tail and male "pregnancies" have intrigued people of all ages. This unique set of features and bright colorations has resulted in seahorses being consistently listed as one of the most popular exhibit animals in zoos and public aquaria. Advancements in captive breeding make seahorses an excellent case study for aquaculture and stewardship for promoting marine conservation.
