Abstract:

During the colonial and antebellum periods of North Carolina's history, plantation owners developed fisheries to provide food for slave workforces. These fisheries were disrupted by Union troops and escaped slaves during the Civil War. After the cease of hostilities, the fishery industry grew quickly as the result of several factors including the expansion of steamboat and railroad lines, the completion of the deep-draft canal to Norfolk, Virginia, and market preferences towards fresh food and away from salted. North Carolina fisheries did not develop as extensively as New England fisheries because of the isolation of North Carolina fisheries, its warm climate, seasonal/migratory fish, and the lack of incentive to develop fisheries since productive farming land was available.

Abstract:

The multi-million dollar Wanchese Harbor Project intends to fully realize efforts made in 1820 to transform Wanchese Harbor on Roanoke Island into a revenue generating venture that will benefit North Carolina's fishing and tourist industries. The project will afford “the most completely integrated seafood facility in the United States.”

Abstract:

Preliminary findings have discovered that organic water pollution is creating the conditions for disease among game fish in North Carolina’s fishing lakes. The disease, which has been found to be present in all southeastern states, produces sores lesions on the fish skin, scales, and mouths. Pollution from sewage, industrial waste, and runoff produce the conditions which favor the condition to be spread among populations; however, at the time there is no particular solution except to limit pollution into the river and lake systems.
