Abstract:
River herring, once an abundant resource in eastern North Carolina waterways, are now so scarce that a moratorium has been declared statewide. Wienke reports on herring research from two North Carolina Fishery Research Grant projects. One estimates herring stock using sonar and the other assesses the herring's zooplankton food source.

Abstract:
River herring have been fished for over 350 years, making it one of the oldest fisheries in the country. At one time the herring filled eastern NC rivers by the millions, but now the number has been dramatically reduced. Causes suggested are dams and developments that block access to spawning grounds, pollution, overfishing, and predation by striped bass. The herring have not rebounded even after management agencies have restricted harvests. Allegood discusses ongoing herring research.
