Abstract:
A large bulleye, Cookeolus japonicas (Family Priacanthidae), was caught March 2, 2001, by a commercial hook-and-line fisherman, southwest of Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina. This new North Carolina specimen is the largest in North Carolina and the second largest reported in the Northwest Atlantic.

Abstract:
Bonefishes (family Albulidae) are cosmopolitan fishes that inhabit sand and grass flats of tropical seas. The current status of bonefishes in North Carolina was reviewed and a sixth bonefish species (Albula vulpes) was identified near Cape Hatteras.

Abstract:
Basking sharks and whale sharks are two of the largest sharks in the world. Observations of these two sharks confirm that they are members of the North Carolinian fish fauna.

Abstract:
Biological features of five species of carangid fishes (African pompano, Atlantic bumper, rainbow runner, leatherjack, and cottonmouth jack) were examined. Abundance and presence of all five species in ocean or inland waters of North Carolina were influenced by habitat or water conditions.

Abstract:
Seven species of batfishes were collected between 1968 and 2002 at shallow to deep water Atlantic Ocean stations located from North Carolina to Florida. New information reveals extended distributions of the batfishes, and biological characteristics that can be used to distinguish between batfishes.

Abstract:
The Lakewood YMCA in southwest-central Durham is in danger of closing due to poor finances and infrastructure problems. Many in the community are upset because of center’s stabilizing place in the inner-city neighborhood and will take the next three months to try to solve the problem. The center is governed by Raleigh’s YMCA and many believe that the management does not understand the situation in Durham.

Abstract:
Environmental impact studies associated with the operation of a nuclear steam electric power plant on the Cape Fear River near Southport permitted the first extensive survey of the marine and freshwater fish fauna of the Cape Fear watershed. The survey was conducted between 1973 and 1980, providing information on fish distribution, abundance, and water quality parameters.

Abstract:
Species of ictalurid catfishes with an adnexed (free) adipose fin have presented identification problems, and consequently may subvert zoogeographic studies. This study examined new and preexisting records of catfishes in Virginia, North Carolina and other eastern states. Diagnostic characters are emphasized for distinguishing various species and their distribution.

Abstract:
This study examined the distribution localities, sizes, and depths frequented by red cornetfish and bluespotted cornetfish collected between 1958 and 2003 off North and South Carolina. Their recent status in sound and ocean waters was compared to earlier observations and distributions.

Abstract:
The spotfin killifish (Fundulus luciae) is found sporadically in brackish coastal waters and marsh pools on Shackleford Banks and along the Newport River, Carteret County, North Carolina. This study documents the distribution and describes the habitat preference of the killifish on a salt marsh in southeastern North Carolina.

Abstract:
The Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) typically range in oceanic waters along the entire Eastern Atlantic coast and in the northern Gulf of Mexico. However, there have been several reports of bluefin tuna in shallow depths of estuarine waters. Bluefin tuna were observed in Archers Creek located at the end of Bogue Banks, North Carolina.

Abstract:
The distributions and size status are reviewed of one Labrid, four Ostraciid, and five Diodontid fishes in North Carolina. The majority of the fishes examined were occasional or rare members of the North Carolina fish fauna. Overall abundances and occurrences remain unresolved.

Abstract:
Trawling in deep ocean waters off North Carolina and adjacent areas between August 1969 and September 1977 captured dories, snailfish, and lumpfish. All were smaller than known and represent southerly range extensions.

Abstract:
Distributions, abundances and sizes are documented for species of searobins (family Triglidae) and armoured searobins (family Peristediidae) captured in inshore and offshore waters of North Carolina and adjacent areas. Observations show that the Cape Fear River estuary is a good nursery for these species, but fish distributions are being affected by warming and changing ecologies.

Abstract:
This study examined the distribution of ocean sunfish (Mola mola). More than sixty encounters with the ocean sunfish in North Carolina’s offshore waters reveal that this fish is an epipelagic migrant, occurring in shallow water commonly in the spring.
