English: Some derived traits in pipefishes and their relatives
Syngnathid fishes such as the Gulf pipefish have increased numbers of vertebrae and an elongated head, are missing pelvic fins and ribs, and have an evolutionarily novel structure, the male brood pouch. Shown for comparison is the axial skeleton of a percomorph with more typical morphology, a threespine stickleback.
