Last week I was out fishing from the beach, when Madeleine Sing
found this interesting Seahorse washed ashore.
Being over 30cm in length, it is rather large.
I have been unable to find a classification for this interesting specimen and would be
interested to know whether or not it was local to my area of South Eastern Australia.
For the fishermen out there the fishing yielded two nice Salmon.
Hi David
ReplyDeleteNot sure which species you have looked at, but the most likely one seems to be Hippocampus whitei. The shape is right, but the colours do not match your bright specimen.
If you did not find this next site, check out options and ranges described:
