Urocampus nanus, also known as the barbed pipefish, is a species of marine fish belonging to the family Syngnathidae.[1] The species can be found inhabiting seagrass beds in sheltered shoreline and estuary habitats along the coasts of southern Japan and Korea.[2][3][4][5][6] Their diet likely consists of small crustaceans.[7] Reproduction occurs through ovoviviparity in which the males brood eggs for 11–16 days before giving live birth.[3][8] Urocampus nanus is thought to be polyandrous, where multiple females compete over breeding with a single male.[8]
Description
This species, along with others in its family, have elongated bodies and appear wormlike. They have small mouths, and tube-snouts, that's length and width is determined by the prey they consume. Like other species in this family, male Urocampus nanus become pregnant.[9] Additionally, these fish have a single dorsal and caudal fin, pectoral fins, a small anal fin, small gill openings, and lack pelvic fins.[10]
Newborn barbed pipefish hatch with their dorsal fins, caudal fin rays, and body and tail rings formed. At this stage of life, the pectoral fin rays have yet to develop.[8]
Members of this species exhibit sexual dimorphism. Females will have a blue spot on the side of their heads and along their bodies. Also, females have deeper bodies with a ventral fold. Males Urocampus nanus lack these characteristics.[8]
Pipefish as a whole and Urocampus nanus are typically poor swimmers. They are typically slow moving and appear almost stationary.[9] For locomotion, the barbed pipefish relies on quick movements from their dorsal and pectoral fins, which gives them a good amount of body control.[11]
