How does the hippocampus reproduce?

The seahorse is the only animal on earth that is bred by males. The male sea horse has a nursery pouch on its abdomen, front or side. During mating, the female seahorse releases the eggs into the ovary sac, and the male is responsible for fertilizing the eggs. The males keep the fertilized eggs in the nursery sac until they are formed before releasing them into the sea.

I. characteristics of hippocampal reproduction

The hippocampus is not hermaphroditic, it is just a male hatch. The breeding period of the hippocampus is from May to August every year, during which the seahorse mother lays her eggs in the pouch in the belly of the seahorse father. After 50-60 days, the young fish will be born from the seahorse father's pouch, so it is the seahorse father who is responsible for parenting. Although the father does not really have a child, the hatching still needs the father to complete. The father's pouch only acts as an incubator, and the eggs still come from the mother. The peak season is from August to September, when fishermen often use a net to catch.
