Abstract From a conservationist perspective, seahorses are threatened fishes. Concomitantly, from socioeconomic they represent source of income to many fishing communities in developing countries. An integration between these two views requires, among other things, the recognition that seahorse fishers have knowledge and abilities can assist implementation conservation strategies management plans for their habitats. This paper documents held by Brazilian on biology ecology longsnout...
This paper provides a case study of threatened seahorse species, Hippocampus reidi, highlighting the importance using ecological information to assist conservation and management initiatives. Underwater visual sighting data (50 x 2m transect) gathered along NE, SE S portions Brazilian coast revealed an unequal distribution across localities, perhaps related harvesting pressure, mean density 0.026 ind.m-2. Our findings suggest some restricted spatial use by H. which was consistent with its...
This paper presents the results of first analysis natural diet Hippocampus reidi, one most sought after seahorse species in international aquarium trade. Its main goals were to investigate food items and prey categories consumed by species, discuss feeding strategy inter intra-individual components niche breadth. Data gathered from October 2005 September 2006 at Mamanguape estuary, State Paraíba, NE Brazil. Food seahorses anaesthetized with clove oil obtained using a modified version...
The connection between eating and healing is common in traditional folk medical systems, the multiple possibilities resulting from combination of biodiversity culture confer a wealth complexity terms knowledge flora fauna as to their potential food medicine. growing awareness links therapeutic-alimentary uses wildlife conservation has drawn attention gaps on social, economic, biological contexts which different forms take place, particularly with regard zootherapeutic resources. In this...
Abstract Seahorses are known to produce sounds in different behavioural contexts, but information on the sound production this fish group is scarce. Here we examined acoustic behaviour of longsnout seahorse H ippocampus reidi by analysing when were introduced a new environment and during feeding, handling courtship. We show that males females two distinct types: ‘clicks’ (main energy between 50 800 Hz) feeding courtship, previously undescribed ‘growls’ concentrated below 200 Hz). The latter...
Background The use of ornamental fish as pets has important implications for the conservation species used in keeping, particularly relation to overexploitation. Understanding keepers’ relationship with hobby can provide information assessing potential impacts activity. Here, we analyzed profile Brazilian keepers and evaluated their preferences choices. Methods Information was obtained by applying questionnaires 906 participating keeping groups a social network. questionnaire contained...
The use of food medicines is a widespread practice worldwide. In Brazil, such often associated with wild animals, mostly focusing on vertebrate species. Here we assessed taxonomic and ecological trends in traditional uses edible vertebrates the country, through an extensive ethnobiological database analysis. Our results showed that at least 165 health conditions are reportedly treated by species ( n = 204), fishes mammals. However, reptiles stand out presenting higher plasticity treatment...
This paper presents novel sex-related characteristics in Hippocampus reidi, expressed as a prominent and pigmented keel (males only), by row of dorsolateral spots mostly (97.4%) found males. While the was even smallest males sampled, appear to be associated with body size. Ex situ observations revealed that during courtship highlighted both characters turning pale their background colour. Understanding such colour behavioural patterns is relevant increase our knowledge about sexual selection...
Planning for effective conservation demands an accurate understanding of the ecological aspects species, particularly their distribution and habitat preferences. This is even more critical in case data-poor, rare, threatened such as seahorses, mainly when they inhabit vulnerable ecosystems like estuaries. Given importance better these parameters to design seahorse strategies, we mapped assessed preferences longsnout seahorses ( Hippocampus reidi) a mangrove estuary Brazilian protected area....
