We have found northern pipefish in our beach seining at Yonkers,
NY in the Hudson River. The salinity is normally 7-8 ppt.
Yesterday because of low freshwater from up river the salinity was
12.
Hope this helps.

All this pipefish talk piqued my curiousity. According to the
"Audubon
Society Field Guide to North American Fishes, Whales and
Dolphins" _Syn.
scovelli_ has a range described as "From Florida to Mexico in Gulf
of
Mexico; fresh water in Louisiana and Florida." So I don't think it will
be
easily collected from the D.C. area. From the photograph in the field
guide it's a cool-looking fish.
