Abstract:
Notropis chlorocephalus, Notropis chiliticus, and Hybopsis hypsinotus are three species of fish found in the Peedee drainage and the Dan River of North Carolina. During a study of nest association among North American minnows in 1987-1988, these three fish species spawned over the nest of bluehead chubs (Nocomis leptocephalus). The advantage of spawning in nests of other fish species may be increased egg survivorship with no costs of parental care.

Abstract:
The Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus) is a catfish endemic to the Tar and Neuse River drainages in North Carolina. Because of its endemicity and relatively limited distribution, this fish became a candidate for pre-listing studies by the Office of Endangered Species, United States Fish and Wildlife Service. This study analyzed the fish’s biology and distribution from 1982 to 1984.
