British marine biologist Richard Smith 's book showcases the ocean’s little-known creatures.

Pygmy seahorses, about the size of a fingernail, are some of the smallest vertebrates in the world.

He was the first to document an example of polygamy in the seahorse family.

Smith is the focal lead for pygmy seahorses for the IUCN , the world’s most comprehensive information source on the extinction risk status of plant and animal species.
