The opossum pipefish, O. b. line- atus, is a relatively small tropical species commonly found in fresh and brackish waters of Central America, but only rarely reported from North America (see review in Gilmore 1977; Dawson 1979). Although Dawson (1979) reported its occurrence as far north as New Jersey, this species has not previously been recorded from North Carolina waters. Six specimens were collected on five separate occasions from the BSEP traveling screens: 14 September 1976 (151 mm; UF 30605); 3 October 1976 (164 mm; UF 30673); 23 October 1976 (153 mm; UF 30674); 20 November 1978 (62 mm, 85 mm; UF 30607); and 5 December 1978 (89 mm; UF 30606). Collection salinities and temperatures ranged from to 0/00 and to ° C, respectively. The three larg- est specimens were adult males with developed but empty brood pouches. Gilmore (1977) indicated that this species spawns from July through November in fresh water of the Indian River, Florida area. Dawson.
