Project funded by FECYT-MINECO and CSIC and focussed on syngnathids, including seahorses, pipe fishes and sea dragons, a fascinating family of fish. The documentary provides an amazing world in which you will discover fishes with surprising biology, whose evolution allowed them to adapt to new environments and to acquire unique characteristics in the animal kingdom. However, many syngnathid species are endangered and very sensitive and vulnerable in an environment submitted to increasing destruction by the action of the human being. The consequences for wild populations are alarming and their future requires the development of adequate awareness and conservation plans.

Species of Signatids that appear in the film:

Hippocampus guttulatus, Hippocampus hippocampus, Hippocampus abdominalis, Hippocampus reidi, Syngnathus acus, Syngnathus typhle,

Syngnathus abaster, Nerophis lumbriciformis, Entelurus aequoreus, Phycodurus eques, Phyllopteryx taeniolatus
