Nature of Aragon > Fauna

Also called Solenictios, they are fish that include needlefish and seahorses.

They have an elongated and thin body, covered by rows of bone plates.

The snout is tubular and works like a pipette, sucking the food, which consists of small organisms of the plankton.

Males have skin folds that form an incubator bag. In it the females lay the eggs that are fertilized by the male.

Some typical species:

Australian hippocampus or seaweed fish.
Needlefish (45 cm)
Pito (8 cm)
Fistularia (1.2 cm)

Needlefish and seahorses generally live in coastal areas, where aquatic plants abound. Needlefish swim horizontally and sometimes head down.

All signatids camouflage very well among seaweed and even among sea urchin spines.
