    The seahorse – A waltz for life

    In the Canary Islands archipelago, on the island of Gran Canaria, a small group of researchers studies the short-snouted seahorse, Hippocampus hippocampus.

Through the work of those researchers, we familiarize ourselves with the fascinating world of seahorses, as well as in their natural environment as in aquarium.
