Abstract:
Cosmopolitan occurring ocean sunfishes or molas, Mola mola and Mola lanceolata (family Molidae), have been documented in North Carolina waters by a number of marine scientists. Frank Schwartz of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Institute of Marine Sciences updated information on both molas in relation to seasonal occurrences in ocean and estuarine waters, food, age, and additional fish associations.

Abstract:
Various theories have attempted to explain color abnormalities in the southern flounder (Paralichthys lethostigma). Specimens of southern flounder were collected in Core Sound, North Carolina and examined. Observations contradict previous theories and suggest ambicoloration and abnormalities may be the result of other developmental factors.

Abstract:
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Institute of Marine Sciences examined the bilateral asymmetry of forty smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata) rostral width, rostral tooth number variation, and rostral tooth surface areas by age. The purpose of the study was to resolve confusion regarding these factors, and how they may relate to other species of sawfishes.

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:
Two species of Thunnus, the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and the blackfin tuna (Thunnus atlanticus), are highly esteemed food and sport fish found in the Southern Atlantic Ocean. To obtain more data pertinent to the management of these fish, a study examined the stomach content of fishes collected at Oregon Inlet, Hatteras, North Carolina between 19809 and 1982.

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 sheepshead minnow or sheepshead pupfish (Cyprinodon variegatus) is a species of fish found in saltmarsh and estuary environments, and is native to the eastern coast of North America. This study investigated the effects of salinity on the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood of C. variegatus.

Abstract:
Hitchhiking sharksuckers or remoras (family Echeneidae) attach to a host of sharks, stingrays, fishes, manatees, and sea turtles. Five species of sharksuckers were collected in western North Atlantic Ocean waters of North Carolina. Various body proportions and several new host affiliations are discussed.

Abstract:
Atlantic menhaden fish were collected from purse-seine catches at Reedville, Virginia and Beaufort, North Carolina in 2003. The fork length to total length and length to weight relationships are presented to help investigators have more precise biostatistical information on forage fishes.

Abstract:
The pinewoods darter fish (Etheostoma mariae) is endemic to streams in the Carolina Sandhills where it is restricted to the Lumber River in North Carolina and to the Little Pee Dee River in North and South Carolina. This study examined the life history and ecology of the darter fish population in Naked Creek, North Carolina.

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.
