The Guardian:

The [seahorse] couple halt in the open water column and hold their bodies close, forming a heart shape with their touching snouts and bellies.

A short hollow tube emerges from the female, which she pushes into an opening in her partner's belly. The couple raise their heads and arch their backs as the female shoots an egg-laden liquid into the male.

The idea seems to be that only the land animals needed to be on the ark, that waterborne animals and all plants would be unaffected by the flood.
