I am currently preparing a paper on feeding regimes in some European syngnathids. I am highly interested in data on mouth and snout (especially mouth gape )biometrics in adults of the following species: the seahorse Hippocampus guttulatus, and the pipefishes Syngnathus acus and Entelurus aequoreus. The aim is to assess any relationship between those biometrics and the composition of the diet in the wild. I would greatly appreciate any information. Thank you very much in advance.

Dear Qamar Ul Islam,
Thanks for the references provided. However, those documents do not provide the type of data I am looking for. Anyway, thank you again.
My best wishes,
Miquel
Dear Planas,
I am sending you a few of our publications from previous years. I hope that will be useful.
Dear Sule,
Thank you very much for the papers.
Are you currently sampling syngnathids or planning more surveys in the field?
My best wishes,
Miquel
