Video | SyngDoc: the unknown world of sygnathids
Project funded by FECYT-MINECO and CSIC on Sygnathid fish, which include seahorses, pipefish and sea dragons, and constitute a fascinating family of fish. Awarded at CIMASUB 2017.
Following the research developed at the IIM-CSIC as a common thread, this documentary immerses the viewer in an amazing world, in which they will discover these fish with surprising biology, whose evolution allowed them to adapt to new environments on the planet and acquire unique characteristics in the animal kingdom. But those same characteristics made them very vulnerable, in an environment subject to increasing alteration by humans.
This situation is alarming for the state of the wild populations of many species of this family. Its future depends on the development of research and the generation of knowledge that guides adequate awareness and conservation plans.
