The survival of seahorses is low because they have many predators. Offspring are also produced in small numbers which further makes their population dwindle fast.
seahorses don't raise their young, they are on their own from the moment they hatch.

Only a small percentage of baby seahorses, known as fry, survive to adulthood. Estimates suggest that less than 1% of seahorse fry make it to maturity due to predation, environmental factors, and competition for resources. Their survival rate is influenced by various factors, including habitat quality and the presence of predators. As a result, seahorses exhibit high reproductive output to compensate for these low survival rates.

Seahorses exhibit several instincts that aid in their survival, including camouflage and the ability to grasp onto vegetation or coral with their prehensile tails to avoid predators. They also display a unique mating instinct, where males carry and nurture the young in their brood pouch. Additionally, seahorses instinctively use their elongated snouts to suck in food, primarily small crustaceans like shrimp. These behaviors help them navigate their environments and reproduce effectively.
