Abstract:
In 1966, eleven flathead catfish were introduced into the Cape Fear River. They rapidly reproduced and spread into other rivers of the Coastal Plain. A popular game fish that can weigh up to 123 pounds, its downside is that it feeds on living things. It has decimated local catfish populations and sunfish and sturgeon species. The introduction was an unfortunate mistake. Since the catfish can't be eliminated, scientists are seeking ways to manage and use it.
