Alternate Theory: Mermaid babies look like starfish. That “bra” is actually the normal process for mermaids to carry and feed their young.

Theory: symbiotic relationship. mermaids produce excessive milk at all life stages so the starfish drink it making the starfish well feed and the mermaid milked (which is important in over production of milk)
You are welcome.

I decided unilaterally that this is canon. Bring in the lorebooks gents we got some corrections and addendums to make

I always figured mermaids would be more like cetaceans than fish. Having scales on their tails would be inaccurate, but breathing air, growing hair, and having a horizontal tail fluke are all in-line with mammals/cetaceans.
Not to mention, it would mean mermaids have regular genitals (albeit hidden inside a genital fold, to increase hydrodynamics.) So that’s, uhh… a thing to consider.
