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.

Abstract:
The Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi) is a totally aquatic salamander endemic to the Neuse and Tar River drainages of North Carolina. A study conducted from 1978 through 1980 documented the waterdog’s distribution, ecology and feeding habits. A conservation status of Special Concern may be warranted due the animal’s need for larger streams with relatively clean, flowing water.
