Conservation and management of seahorses and other Syngnathidae.
@article{Vincent2011ConservationAM, title={Conservation and management of seahorses and other Syngnathidae.}, author={A. J. Vincent and S. J. Foster and H. Koldewey}, journal={Journal of fish biology}, year={2011}, volume={78 6}, pages={ 1681-724 } }
This article analyses the pressures on seahorses and explores conservation responses. It focuses on seahorses (Hippocampus spp.) but also considers pipefishes and seadragons, especially where they can fill gaps in seahorse knowledge. The charisma of many syngnathids can make them good flagship species for threats and solutions in marine conservation. The article combines a synthesis of published literature with new data on the trade in seahorses for traditional medicine, aquarium display and… CONTINUE READING
