Current distribution known : extant along the Eastern Atlantic from the Baltic Sea near the Faeroe Islands, Norway and down through the British Isles to Western Sahara and from Senegal and Gambia. It is also found from Namibia to Cape of Good Hope and northward to the coast of Zululand in the western Indian Ocean. It is also found throughout the Mediterranean and Black seas. This species has also been identified from the Azores .
Embryology / ontogeny : Silva et al., 2006 .
Food habits : it feeds on small invertebrates and fish larvae including harpacticoid copepods, amphipods, cypris larvae and decapod crustaceans .
Genetics : Mwale et al., 2013 .
Habitat / home range : inhabits coastal and estuarine areas with sea grass beds, such as Zostera species. It uses sea grasses as breeding and feeding grounds and as shelter from prey .
Morphology / anatomy : Mwale et al., 2013 .
Phylogeny : Mwale et al., 2013 .
Reproduction : a polygamous species, so males are able to accept eggs from multiple females, and carry them for the incubation period in their brood pouches. After several weeks, the males give birth to fully formed juveniles measuring an average of 2.6 cm. This species has been shown to display filial cannibalism in captivity, as newborns are often preyed upon by adult pipefish, their own parents included .

Size : 450 mm TL .
