	Synga_scovel
		Members of the families Syngnathidae and Hippocampidae (pipefishes and sea horses) exhibit atypical reproductive behavior and parental care.
		Maternal and paternal brooding roles are reversed in these groups, with females producing large telolecithal eggs that are fertilized as they are deposited into the male brood pouch (Azzarello 1991).
		In the families Syngnathidae, as well as in the Hippocampidae, males incubate the large telolecithal eggs deposited by females.

	seahorse on Encyclopedia.com
		The elongated head and snout of a seahorse, flexed at right angles to the body, suggest those of a horse.
		They are slightly more fishlike in appearance and are able to change color, but have the long snout and unusual breeding habits of the seahorse.
		Seahorses are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Osteichthyes, order Gasterosteiformes, family Syngnathidae.

	Biogeography of Leafy Seadragon
		Seadragons are called leafy or weedy depending on the number and appearance of their distinctly plant-like appendages and are in the family Syngnathidae, sharing characteristics such as long tube-snouted mouths and bodies enclosed in bony plates with their more common cousins the seahorses (Hippocampinae) and pipefish (Syngnathine).
		The family Syngnathidae, characterized by fused jaws, is believed to have evolved from a common ancestor with the perches, bass, sticklebacks and chiclids.
		The Syngnathidae family consists of over two hundred and fifteen species in fifty-two genera and although primarily marine may also be found in fresh and brackish water (Lourie, Vincent and Hall 1999).

		(Syngnalhina), small fishes, which with the Seahorses form a distinct family, Syngnathidae, of Lophobranchiate FIG.
		The name is derived from the peculiar form of theij snout, which is produced into a more or less long tube, ending in narrow and small mouth which opens upwards and is toothless.
		A review of the extensive literature on the breeding habits of the Syngnathidae is given by E. Gudger, The Breeding habits and the Segmentation of the Egg of the Pipefish, Proc.

	Pipes,Horsies
		Relying on cryptic coloring and body shapes, hiding in obscurity, propelled along with their undulating dorsal fins, they are the original "equal-sex" reproducers.
		According to Nelson (1994) the syngnathids form a larger group, the Superfamily Syngnathoidea with the another family sometimes labeled as seahorses as well as Ghost Pipefishes, the otherworldly family Solenostomidae (whose five species have the females brooding their young in pouches).
		Whichever way you splice them they are unmistakable; elongate bodies encased in hard bony ring series, small gill openings, a lack of pelvic fins and caudals, anals, dorsals and/or pectorals in some.

	Sygnathus_scovelli
		Syngnathus scovelli is evolutionary advanced, and it is placed in the family Syngnathidae based on possession of a modified tube-shaped mouth that is used for powerful suction feeding.on plankton.
		Relationships within the family Syngnathidae can be determined by studying differences in both the brood pouch and egg attachment.
		The Syngnathidae family has ovoviviparous embryonic development in which females produce large pear-shaped eggs that are deposited into the male's brood pouch, where they are fertilized.

		Pipefish are a small group of fish from within the family Syngnathidae, meaning 'jaw fused.' Although the Syngnathidae is commonly called the Pipefish family, the most notable fish of this family are in the subfamily Hippocampinae, the Seahorses.
		Due to the advanced adaptation to specific localized conditions within the species of the family Syngnathidae, it is believed dispersal from the pelagic stage is minimal.
		The unusual brooding habits of Syngnathidae have brought upon another interesting sexually characteristic among pipefish: sex-role reversal.
