An electronic global database of taxonomic, biogeographic, and biological information on seahorses. This database will be verified by experts to ensure accuracy, and updated with new information regularly to ensure completeness. It will include type specimen information, photographs, morphological measurements, taxonomic references and explanations of taxonomic decisions. It will also be a databank for similar information for non-type specimens. Functionality will include dynamic mapping of species, identification tools, and links to other global databases e.g. FishBase, Barcode of Life, FishBOL, GenBank, Morphbank.

The taxonomy of the seahorse genus Hippocampus Rafinisque 1810 remains unresolved. The pages of this website are a work in progress to try to help clarify some of the outstanding issues in seahorse taxonomy.

Please note that content imported to this site from external sources (e.g. GBIF, Morphbank, Flikr, Google Scholar) has not necessarily been verified by us at this time. We encourage you to excercise caution when utilizing identifications provided on these sites.
