The present study was carried out in the marine area of Stratoni, Greece, where two seahorse species are present (Hippocampus hippocampus and Hippocampus guttulatus). Two surveys were conducted (September 2016 and May 2019) to gather information regarding seahorse species' abundance, distribution and habitat characteristics. Four different seahorse natural and artificial habitat types were identified. The results revealed that the presence of H. hippocampus was relatively high, especially at sites with artificial structures, whereas the presence of H. guttulatus was rare. Data collected can provide baseline information for future population assessments.
本研究在希腊斯特拉托尼（Stratoni）的海域进行，该地区有两种海马物种（Hippocampus hippocampus 和 Hippocampus guttulatus）。我们进行了两次调查（2016 年 9 月和 2019 年 5 月），以收集有关海马物种丰度、分布和栖息地特征的信息。我们确定了四种不同的海马自然和人工栖息地类型。结果表明，H. hippocampus 的存在相对较高，尤其是在有人工结构的地点，而 H. guttulatus 的存在则很少见。收集的数据可以为未来的种群评估提供基线信息。
