BIRTH: When the male seahorse is ready to give birth he has muscular contractions to expel the young, which are known as fry, from the pouch.
YOUNG: Newborns measure between two and twelve millimetres, depending on species. The number of young produced ranges between 100 and 200 for most species, but can be as low as 5 for the smaller species, or more than 1,500 for larger species. The fry will often grasp floating or still objects, and even each other, with their tails.
