Seahorses are a type of fish, marsupials are a type of mammal, they are not the same and one can't pertain to each other's species. They have one thing in common, though, the pouch male seahorses carry in their abdomen are similar to the pouches marsupials such as kangaroos have, but in the case of marsupials, the pouch is carried by the females.

Seahorses are not marsupials. They are fish, not mammals. Although the male seahorse has a brood pouch for carrying the eggs, this feature alone does not make the seahorse a marsupial. There are no marine marsupials.

They both have pouches. It is the male sea-horse (not the female) that has a pouch, and becomes pregnant.
