Abstract:

A research need noted in this study noted the problem of shark depredation whreby a shark takes a portion or all of a hooked fish before an angler or commercial fisher can secure it is an increasing problem. Archaeological evidence suggests a sophisiticated skill level with ancient shad fishermen including artifical lures. The Chowan River reveals a higher rate for shad spawning over the Roanoke River due to more unimpeded miles of access.
