Abstract:

Flathead catfish, natives of the Mississippi River basin, were introduced into the Cape Fear River. They rapidly reproduced and spread into other rivers of the Coastal Plain, including the Tar, White Oak, and Neuse. The introduction was an unfortunate mistake as the flathead is destroying a number of native fish populations.
