For sperm counts in the seaweed pipefish, see Watanabe et al.

But males in one group are-seahorses and their close cousins, pipefish.

A visual outline of the pipefish experiment sequence.

Just like peacocks, female pipefish have evolved bright, colourful markings as a result of sexual selection.

For instance, in certain species of pipefish the female actively courts the male, before "gluing" her eggs to her chosen mate.

But one that has is the seaweed pipefish, a species common in seagrass beds around Japan-andsure enough, his sperm count is vanishingly low.

If you are a small female pipefish looking for a mate, both pre- and post-copulatory factors set the odds against you having a successful brood.
