FusedJaw: Seahorses, Pipefish & Seadragons

It's all about the snick.

About Fusedjaw.com

Fusedjaw.com was started as an online magazine for all things about seahorses and their relatives. Our goal is to share updated, factual information about all members of the syngnathiformes group, such as seahorses, pipefishes, sea dragons, sea moths, and more. As we grow, we hope to accumulate more knowledge in the husbandry of these animals, as well as conservation measures to save these animals from extinction.

Seahorses especially, but many of their relatives, are caught around their world for use in traditional chinese medicine, as souvenirs, and in the home aquarium. While legislation has passed and seahorses added to the CITES list under appendix II, many countries which heavily use seahorses have declined to participate. And still, many seahorse relatives are in danger, as most have no protection what-so-ever.

Aquarists, researchers, and conservationists alike are fighting to keep these animals alive and available for future generations to enjoy though captive breeding programs, habitat protection, legislation, and education. At Fusedjaw.com, we’re dedicated to furthering those goals by bringing like-minded individuals together to learn and exchange information.
