Stigmatopora narinosa, also known as the Southern Gulf pipefish is a species of marine fish belonging to the family Syngnathidae.[1] The species can be found in patches of seagrass and algae in the shallow waters of Spencer Gulf and the Gulf St. Vincent, South Australia.[2] Their diet likely consists of small crustaceans such as copepods and amphipods.[3] Adult males have been measured at lengths up to 11.3 centimeters.[2] Reproduction occurs through ovoviviparity in which the males brood eggs from December to March before giving live birth.[2]
