Abstract:
More than 13 million fish died in “fish kill events” in North Carolina in 2009 - the most since that data has been collected. The estimate is conservative and could actually be double the total. Graphs detailing the annual fish kill events from 1997 to 2009 and the reported annual fish kill mortality from 1997 to 2009 are presented. Most of the fish kill events occurred as a result of low oxygen in the water and pollution.

Abstract:
The state's striped bass population declined during the 1970s. Because of migration patterns, multi-state cooperation was needed to manage recovery. The 1984 federal Atlantic Striped Bass Conservation Act accomplished this, and the bass is now restored.

Abstract:
Atlantic bumper fish were once common, but rarely caught today in North Carolina. Their decline seems to reflect a response to changing water temperatures, cooler pre-1990 and warmer post-1990.

Abstract:
Atlantic midshipman fish were collected off North Carolina between 1911 to 2012, and four were found in Pamlico Sound. Once abundant their numbers have declined after 1990 when ocean water temperatures changed from cool to warm. Today they are rarely caught or seen in North Carolina.

Abstract:
Bass populations can be seriously threatened in the state's lakes and waterways by overfishing. The problem can be reduced by catch-and-release fishing. If properly handled after being caught, then quickly freed, the fish can survive for future sport.

Abstract:
Populations of eighty-six Atlantic Ocean marine fishes off North Carolina have changed during the last forty-five years. Examination of the ocean conditions and its fish faunal interrelationships explain reasons for these changes.

Abstract:
The destruction by the Marines of the 250-foot-long concrete Rains Mill Dam on the Little River in Johnston County will open 50 more miles of the river to fish spawning. The dam stood for 71 years and was blown up in December 1999. It is the third dam on the Little and Neuse rivers to be removed for environmental purposes since 1997. The removal will help restore the ecosystem, river system, and fisheries.

Abstract:
The answer to why there are so few rockfish and if there is anything being done to increase their numbers is explained. Most of the female fish do not survive to the age they need to spawn, but in order to save and increase their numbers, eggs are being harvested in hatcheries and later released back into the wild.

Abstract:
When the fishing gets tough in lakes and ponds, the answer could be fishing more aggressively, which studies have shown can help bring the populations back up.

Abstract:
New research on genes that influence the quality of eggs in fish could help scientists develop answers and possible treatments for infertility in humans. More experiments are needed but scientists are optimistic.

Abstract:
The growth rate of fish is an important index to the quality and productivity of a pond or lake. A survey in 1950 was conducted across several lakes in North Carolina comparing amount to fish sixe to lake specifications.
