Abstract:

New research on genes that influence the quality of eggs in fish could help scientists develop answers and possible treatments for infertility in humans. More experiments are needed but scientists are optimistic.

Abstract:

Atlantic midshipman fish were collected off North Carolina between 1911 to 2012, and four were found in Pamlico Sound. Once abundant their numbers have declined after 1990 when ocean water temperatures changed from cool to warm. Today they are rarely caught or seen in North Carolina.

Abstract:

Atlantic bumper fish were once common, but rarely caught today in North Carolina. Their decline seems to reflect a response to changing water temperatures, cooler pre-1990 and warmer post-1990.

Abstract:

At one time spotted bass were probably native to some stretches of rivers in the western part of the state; however, current populations have been introduced either by wildlife agency stocking programs of the 1970s, or more recently by fishermen. While anglers enjoy the fish's scrappiness, its introduction could have a negative impact on other bass. Ingram examines the state's four geographic reasons to see how spots are affecting other bass populations like large and smallmouth.

Abstract:

Populations of eighty-six Atlantic Ocean marine fishes off North Carolina have changed during the last forty-five years. Examination of the ocean conditions and its fish faunal interrelationships explain reasons for these changes.

Abstract:

More than 13 million fish died in “fish kill events” in North Carolina in 2009 - the most since that data has been collected. The estimate is conservative and could actually be double the total. Graphs detailing the annual fish kill events from 1997 to 2009 and the reported annual fish kill mortality from 1997 to 2009 are presented. Most of the fish kill events occurred as a result of low oxygen in the water and pollution.

Abstract:

Wilson discusses catch-and-release fishing in North Carolina. The program came to the state in 1954 on trout streams in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The program is an approach to having more fish available to catch and emphasizes the recreational rather than the consumptive value of fish.

Abstract:

The destruction by the Marines of the 250-foot-long concrete Rains Mill Dam on the Little River in Johnston County will open 50 more miles of the river to fish spawning. The dam stood for 71 years and was blown up in December 1999. It is the third dam on the Little and Neuse rivers to be removed for environmental purposes since 1997. The removal will help restore the ecosystem, river system, and fisheries.

Abstract:

The state's striped bass population declined during the 1970s. Because of migration patterns, multi-state cooperation was needed to manage recovery. The 1984 federal Atlantic Striped Bass Conservation Act accomplished this, and the bass is now restored.

Abstract:

Bass populations can be seriously threatened in the state's lakes and waterways by overfishing. The problem can be reduced by catch-and-release fishing. If properly handled after being caught, then quickly freed, the fish can survive for future sport.

The Waccamaw silverside is known to exist only in Lake Waccamaw and the upper Waccamaw River in North Carolina. Due to threats of eutrophication and poor water quality, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed to list the fish as threatened and to designate its critical habitat.
