“…Loss of habitat, changing climate and human harvesting threaten wild populations of many syngnathid species (Vincent, Foster, & Koldewey, ). In captivity, syngnathids are susceptible to infectious diseases including mycobacteriosis, scuticocilliatosis, phaeohyphomycosis, fusariosis and vibriosis (Bonar et al., ; LePage et al., ; Nyaoke et al., ; Salter et al., ). Aside from water quality‐related issues, particularly gas bubble trauma, non‐infectious diseases, such as neoplasia, are less commonly reported in syngnathids.…”
