The presence of the seahorse Hippocampus patagonicus in deep waters: additional evidence of the dispersive capacity of the species
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 July 2014
Abstract
Rafting is proposed as the mechanism of dispersal influencing the speciation and population structure of Hippocampus. Recently, rafting was confirmed in Hippocampus patagonicus by the direct observation of juveniles attached to floating debris. This study discusses the implications of the record of an individual in deep waters, suggesting that the species can disperse away from their coastal populations.
