3 Ways Seahorses are Like British Aristocracy and 1 Way They're Definitely Not | Alien Ocean

[@sapphiredragon23]

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I think the seahorse/walrus issue is because the latin name for walrus is Odobenus Rosmarus, meaning "toothwalking sea horse." After seahorses were scientifically described in the 19th century, sea-horse stopped being used for walrus.

[@OctopusLady]

Woo! Context! Thank you!

[@t0b3yyy16]

I'd like to add upon this: in german the walrus is called Walross. I'm not sure if that's where the word comes from but "Wal" mean whale and "Ross" is an outdated word for "Pferd", or in english horse, I guess you could best translate it to steed. A whale-steed!

I'll never be able to see a seahorse again without imagining a fainting couch, which makes Reason #1 very powerful.

Pipefish male in the corner: "hey I have a pouch to carry eggs and numerous health complications too!"😢

[@jessehunter362]

The main reason that seahorses have male pregnancy is that they inherited it from the pipefish, which are like victorean era aristocrats in that they hang around with pipes a lot.

[@owlcyclops7163]

here is a fun fact if your still interested. the Japanese meaning for seahorse is tatsunootoshigo or if you separate them tatsu no otoshigo. if you put them into pieces you get 竜(tatsu) mean dragon and 落とし子(otoshigo) means evil spawn and no means ('s)so 竜の落とし子 so what this means is that they are called Dragon's Bastard Child. this makes it funny to me because there was maybe some divers from japan (maybe the Ama (海女, "sea women") who would go down there, see these little critters just swimming around and the divers be like "there is no way that is a real dragon, that has got to be like a evil spawn of them" and have given them that name due to them being so disappointed in not seeing a real dragon.

[@lnheritance]

DISCLAIMER: I am not a seahorse scientist or a professional researcher as of the writing of this comment. This is purely speculation because I find it fun. One reason that I have seen suggested (and I personally think is a solid hypothesis) for male pregnancy is as follows: So we (the scientific community) are pretty sure that males exist for genetic variation, even though their existence is quite expensive for a species. An asexual species, in theory, would reproduce far faster and out compete any sexual reproducers. That rarely happens though (some species do show up, but disappear very quickly), so it stands to reason genetic variation is very important. Thus, the cost of males is the decreased speed at which babies can be made. Now, I couldn't find ANYTHING in the time I had that told me how long seahorse eggs take to reach maturity (in the female). However, based on the size of the egg, size of the mother, and quantity of eggs produced I think it's safe to assume seahorses eggs are "made to order" instead of all reaching maturity at the same time (as is the case with humans). If this is the case, then the male being the carrier of the eggs would allow the female to immediately begin creating another cache of eggs. This would solve the problems males have (at least in part) because there is no longer so much reproductive dead time. A great example of this is the asexual Mole salamander species, but they have eliminated the need for males in a completely different way. On the off chance you (The Octopus Lady) return to the video, see this, and I explained it poorly/you feel like discussing this I would be more than happy to elaborate. My knowledge base on this area is currently growing. My apologies if anything I say is incorrect!

[@OctopusLady]

Oh, wow! You leave such great comments! Yes, so I actually heard about this hypothesis you described here (very clearly, btw!) before! Unfortunately, I heard about it a few weeks after I made this video, which...wasn't super annoying AT ALL...but it makes a lot of sense to me! I do remember reading about how long it takes for female seahorses to produce eggs and while I don't remember the exact numbers, it was...a significant amount of time, I wanna say a few days, maybe? (Don't quote me on that, though!) But this hypothesis feels like much less nebulous than the one I managed to piece together, but it did make me wonder why it wasn't a more common reproductive strategy? Btw...in what capacity are you in the scientific community? Are you a marine biologist? Cuz that would be super cool!

[@lnheritance]

@@OctopusLady It is a bit of a strange one because, as you said, it's so isolated. I think it might be limited in spread because of how much effort is put in by the parents. I don't see this ever having the chance to evolve in something like butterfly fish. There are so many weird things about seahorses that haven't been explained super well (or I haven't found the information), the answer is probably in there somewhere. What I will say about the hypothesis you presented is that if it was a dominant allele (or set of dominant alleles) then the chances of the behavior getting passed down are very good. Assuming that the detailed behavior is genetic. I would assume so. I can imagine that would a teeny tiny bit annoying. Where else did you see this hypothesis? I interact with researchers on an almost daily basis, but I can't say I'm anything other than a high school student. I do really want to be a marine biologist though. Even more now that I've gotten to work in a lab for a bit. Science is so freaking cool!

[@OctopusLady]

@@lnheritance Oh wow! You're only a high school student? From the way you write, I thought you were a college graduate already! And here's the video that I saw a few weeks after I made my KZbin video. It's about the evolution of sea horses, and they mention the hypothesis in it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnq2kGWVdpKSgdE

The author did significant work with them to study bioluminescence, and it's super cool. Not sure how much of it would be usable, but its a great book regardless.

[@furryfurry8477]

As someone who has done a lot of research on chameleons and has one of their own, seahorses sound like the literal ocean version of chameleons. From the physical and obvious resemblance to the “respiratory” sensitivity and moving all wonky and being hard to keep in captivity 😂 only main difference I see is that chameleons cannot under any circumstances be kept together for long periods of time while seahorses obviously can

[@glibber2732]

I'm even later to the party, but I think the walrus = seahorse thing might also be rooted in its linguistic origins. Here in Germany, the word for "walrus" is "Walross", which - if literally translated - means "whale steed". I assume that the English "walrus" is derived either from that or some other germanic or nordic language.

[@carl11547]

In Vietnames, the name for walrus is "hải mã", which literally translated to "seahorse" (hải = sea, mã = horse).

[@ketsuekikumori9145]

But why would an English dictionary use the translation of a foreign language? We already have a word for the animal. If it was a loan word from Vietnamese, than that would make sense, but it's not.

[@Cheese_Authority]

[@hellothing]

Funnily enough, walrus is hǎixiàng (海象 ) in Chinese which literally translates to “sea elephant”. Sea horse is hǎimǎ (海马) which is indeed also literally “sea horse”

[@blakedao4777]

@@hellothing Another fun fact, some of Vietnamese words are borrowed from Chinese. In this case, hải (hăi) = biển = sea and mã (mă) = ngựa = horse. I believe since the old time when our cultures intertwined, we got the word hải mã from Chinese people and use it till now.

[@victorquadros1428]

I am insanely late to the party, but I also wanted to add that male seahorses form placentas. Within the Sygnathidae, you actually see a lot of variation in the extent of paternal-foetal tissue invagination. Even weirder, placentas evolved multiple times within fishes (both non-tetrapodal and tetrapodal) alone. There is a lot of fabulous research on this topic, with so many interesting implications from the myriad of discoveries being found through comparative genomics (it is possible retroviruses favor placental evolution - Mabuya skinks and non-monotreme mammals had a single ERV insertion event that corresponded to the co-adaptation of those genomic elements into genes required for placental formation, such as syncytin-1).

What if the male caring for the offspring is similar to the way cassowaries do it? The male takes care of his chicks alone, which gives the mom the ability to go and find other males to have broods with. This frees mom to keep making eggs. Do the female seahorses produce multiple clutches to hand off to males?

[@adams13245]

That's a good question.

[@hedgehog3180]

Someone else did raise the point that having males primarily take care of child care is more reproductively efficient in species with genders.

[@The_Worst_Guy_Ever]

​@@hedgehog3180 I mean males can just get a bunch of females pregnant back to back in quick succession. Still seems more efficient to me

[@friend_trilobot]

My Old English professor said a walrus bark is like the neigh of a horse and that's the reason they are associated with horses in days of yore. And in at least one old English text we read in that class ("the voyage of Ohtere" I believe) they were called horse-whales (I wanna say they spelled it "horswahl" in that old English text) But I have also been told as a word is from the same basic roots, just switched: basically, wahlhors becomes walrus over time, essentially - it's probably more complicated than that, but I didn't know seahorse also meant walrus, but that makes sense based on the other info I've seen

My explantion attempt about the walrus confusion. Walrus is most likely borrowed from a Germanic langue(probably old norse but i choose german in this example because i speak it), where the name is made by the word for Whale (for example German Wal) and Horse( in German Ross). So its a whale-horse. But a lot of "seals" (and other marine life) get named sea + random animal like sea lion, sea elephant, sea leopard and sea cow. A walrus is already a "horse" so sea horse would make a lot of sense, following the naming convention.

1:26 To the point of "Seahorse" meaning Walrus: The only thing I can think of is that Walrus in german is "Walross" wich translates to "Whale-Steed" ("Ross" is the more "poetic" word for "Pferd" wich is german for horse, so "steed" seemed more fitting). A quick glance at the english wikipedia page seems to agree that the word walrus comes from a germanic language, so...yeah...there you go, I guess? :)

[@davidbarrass]

the text cited at 8:35 basically means they're working with 90's technology and some of the results they got were not right. Micro25.22 is a microsatellite (a short repetitive sequence of G and T bases in the pipefish's DNA), at location 25.22. I think this is an arbitrary number, if I were to guess I'd say this was the 22nd microsatellite sequence discovered in experiment 25. An allele is just a variant sequence in the DNA in this case the number of Gs and Ts one after the other. Nul means they didn't detect anything, which can either be there's nothing to detect or the technique failed. When these runs of Gs and Ts become very long they're very difficult to detect, the PCR (look up PCR test for SarsCov2, it's the same technique) gets less efficient the longer stretch of DNA it has to cover. So in other words "We got some results that suggest some of the eggs were not the father's but it's a mistake with the technology and think that they are all the father's eggs after all" tbh I think that's a fair call. I was doing PCR in the 90's and this efficiency drop off for longer alleles was a known issue.

Please, PLEASE, keep making videos and inspiring your viewers because I'm sure more than a couple people gained their love of Marine Biology from you. Second, I'm not a marine biologist or anything but I was doing some research for my AP Bio project on Seahorses and I looked through some of your sources to see what I could garner and I was rather interested in the Fish Tuberculosis (Mycobacterium marinum) section but noticed that the study you provided was specifically on Zebrafish which are from a completely different family than Seahorses (Cyprinidae vs. Syngnathidae). I did some more digging and I found that Syngnathidae ARE affected by Mycobacterium marinum but I couldn't find anywhere that called M. marinum 'tuberculosis' honestly what I found in studies were saying that M. marinum, along with other Mycobacterium that affect Seahorses such as M. fortuitum and M. chelonae were referred to as 'Non-Tuberculosis mycobacterium' (Here's the study I'm referencing btw repositorioinstitucional.ceu.es/bitstream/10637/14180/1/Clinical_Montero_ANIMALS_2022.pdf) Third, I just realized this video is like 2 years old but I'm still gonna comment.

My reading of research papers is minimal, but from what I HAVE read so far, I do wonder if male pregnancy is a way to more evenly distribute energy consumption between the sexes? It takes a LOT more energy/resources in most species to produce viable eggs than it does to create sperm. If it were really that significant though, I'd think male pregnancy would be found in more species. I wonder if it's a more optimal way to balance energy consumption, but female pregnancy is just a less practical Thing we've kept through evolution, like needing wet eyes.

The female insiminates the males, the males give birth and take care of the children, the female compet for cortship. How is this not a miss namer?
