Best Answer

The male seahorse has a pouch, which the female will fill with unfertilised eggs - here the male with fertilise them. The male will keep the eggs there until he expels them from the pouch, as they begin to hatch.

However from then on, as is usual with fish, the many tiny offspring are left to fend for themselves.
