Species of fish From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Syngnathus dawsoni is a species of the pipefishes. It occurs in the central, western Atlantic in the Caribbean Sea from Puerto Rico to St. Lucia and has been recorded only from the east of the Mona Passage.[1] It is a marine tropical demersal fish. It is ovoviviparous; the male carries the fertilized eggs in a brood pouch located under his tail.[2] It has been captured at around 7 metres (23 ft) in shallow, inshore water but its habits and ecology are unknown.[1]
