The deep-bodied pipefish (Leptonotus blainvilleanus) is a species of marine fish belonging to the family Syngnathidae.[1] They can be found in shallow estuaries and algal beds along the coast of South America from Ecuador to Argentina.[2][3][4] Predators of this species include mackerel and the La Plata dolphin.[5][6] Reproduction occurs through ovoviviparity: the eggs are carried in a pouch under the tail of the male until they hatch.[2][7][8]
Size
[edit]This species reaches a length of 25.0 cm (9.8 in).[9]
Etymology
[edit]The fish is named in honor of zoologist-anatomist Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville (1777-1850)[10]
