Sara Lourie is a research associate with Project Seahorse. She has identified multiple new pygmy seahorse species and is the author of several books and articles on seahorse taxonomy.
“Seahorses are the most un-fishlike of all fishes, with their
horse-like heads, prehensile tails, and near absence of fins. This
guide covers every one of the 42 known species of seahorses, plus
15 additional relatives, including the seadragon. In addition to
beautiful color photographs of all but the rarest species, the
descriptions nicely summarize what is known about the distribution,
reproduction, and identifying characters of each. The really
striking feature, however, is an elegantly simple one: inclusion of
a life-sized shadow/silhouette of each species. It is rather
astounding to see that some of the pygmy seahorses are literally no
larger than the average housefly! . . . Highly recommended.”
