Nearly 1,700 sea dragons dead in South Australia's algal bloom

Dragon Search SA releases findings on algal bloom mortality

A report led by marine ecologist Janine Baker documents nearly 1,700 deaths across the Syngnathidae family: 1,524 weedy sea dragons, 159 leafy sea dragons, 787 brushtail pipefish, 574 spotted pipefish, 42 long-snout pipefish, and more than 160 short-head seahorses. David Booth from UTS notes that sea dragons are a world hotspot in South Australia and are entering their October breeding season.

“But that's only of use if we can fix the habitat. There's been so much habitat destruction — huge losses of sponges, kelp, seagrasses — all those sorts of things that these animals need.”
