Abstract:

An area between Rocky Mount and Tarboro is considered the primary spawning ground for Tar River Shad. There are two species of shad in the Tar Pamlico region; namely, American and hickory. Although the Roanoke River experiences larger quantities of shad, the Tar River is better rated for its variety, particularly in regard to mature female white "roe" shad.
