Abstract:

Notropis chlorocephalus, Notropis chiliticus, and Hybopsis hypsinotus are three species of fish found in the Peedee drainage and the Dan River of North Carolina. During a study of nest association among North American minnows in 1987-1988, these three fish species spawned over the nest of bluehead chubs (Nocomis leptocephalus). The advantage of spawning in nests of other fish species may be increased egg survivorship with no costs of parental care.

Abstract:

Several cyprinid fishes are known to spawn in the nests of other cyprinid species, but cyprinid spawning in the guarded nests of centrarchids has been infrequently observed. Golden shiners (Notemigonus crysoleucas) were observed spawning in bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus Rafinesque) nests in a North Carolina pond. This spawning behavior may affect bluegill reproductive success.

Abstract:

Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina, is one of the shallow bay lakes of the southeastern coastal plain of North America. It has unusual water chemistry and harbors three endemic fish species. To assess the conservation status of the endemic species, this study measured the thermoregulatory behavior and diel activity patterns of fish species.
