Abstract

Seahorses are species that are globally threatened with extinction because of their capture for the ornamental fish trade and traditional medicine and because of suffering from environmental degradation and habitat loss. Moreover, they make up the diet of many animals, including fishes. Seahorses are often bycatch in net fishing, and rarely reported as bycatch in fishing with hooks, but they are prey of fish that are caught in this way. The analysis of the stomach contents of fish caught in troll and longline fishing, revealed the presence of Hippocampus reidi as a food item of Cephalopholis fulva and Thunnus atlanticus.
