Abstract:
Cited as the third largest lake in North Carolina and home to endemic species, Lake Wacccamaw’s unique qualities include theories for its origins. Beliefs about the Carolina Bays’ creation range from the handiwork of meteors to the swimming patterns of its fish. As for the community surrounding the lake, Whiteville residents are also defined by the author as endemic. They thrive on small town values, such as tending to the town’s history and resisting a transformation into a tourist site.

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.

Of the three species occurring in North Carolina, only the Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi) is endemic to the state. In 1978, a three-year study began to provide information on its life history, habitat preference, and preliminary conservation status.
