Phenomenon: The Long-snouted Seahorse
The long-snouted seahorse,
Hippocampus guttulatus
, is found
in shallow marine water. It is in the class Actinopterygii, which
are ray-finned fishes. Seahorses and other ray-finned fishes
have fins that are supported by thin, spinelike rays. Most fishes
alive today are ray-finned fishes.
The genus of seahorse,
Hippocampus
, comes from
the Greek word
hippos
, meaning
horse
, and
kampos
,
meaning
sea monster
