species of fish

The Syngnathidae is a family of fish which includes seahorses, pipefishes, and seadragons (Phycodurus and Phyllopteryx). The family name comes from Ancient Greek σύν (sún), meaning "together", and γνάθος (gnáthos), meaning "jaw", referring to the fused jaw that the entire family have in common.

Pipefishes or pipe-fishes (Syngnathinae) are a subfamily of small fishes, which, together with the seahorses and seadragons (Phycodurus and Phyllopteryx), form the family Syngnathidae. The name comes from Ancient Greek σύν (sún), meaning "together", and γνάθος (gnáthos), meaning "jaw", referring to the fused jaw that the subfamily's species have in common.

Histiogamphelus is a genus of fish known as the crested pipefishes. They belong to the family Syngnathidae and are endemic to the southern coast of Australia and Tasmania. They have a characteristic "crest" on the snout, which can help distinguish them from other related genera within the sub-family Syngnathinae. Their brown-tan coloration may mimic the Posidonia sea grass in which they are often found. Like all syngnathids, the male broods the eggs in a brood pouch (in this genus located under the tail).

Ichthyocampus is a genus of pipefishes found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
