Analysis of a 41-year data set : Environmental influences on the fish assemblages of Albemarle Sound, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2014)North Carolina both historically and currently maintains one of the most productive fishery resource basins in the nation. However, fish stocks are spatially and temporally variable in abundance and distribution in estuarine ... -
Evaluating Spatial and Temporal Overlap Between Larval Alosines and Potential Zooplankton Prey in Lower Roanoke River and Albemarle Sound, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2011)Spatial and temporal overlap between zooplankton and larval American shad (Alosa sapidissima), river herring (alewife A. pseudoharengus and blueback herring A. aestivalis), and hickory shad (A. mediocris) was evaluated in ... -
Population Structure Of River Herring In Albemarle Sound, North Carolina, Inferred From Geometric Morphometrics And Otolith Shape Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2015)Alewife Alosa pseudoharengus and Blueback Herring Alosa aestivalis, collectively known as River herring, use tributaries of the Albemarle Sound, North Carolina as spawning and nursery habitats. Stocks of these anadromous ... -
River Herring Nursery Habitat in Albemarle Sound, North Carolina, Inferred from Otolith Microchemistry
(East Carolina University, 2012)River herring is a collective term used to describe two similar alosine species: alewife Alosa pseudoharengus and blueback herring A. aestivalis. Both of these anadromous species are native to the Atlantic coast of North ... -

(East Carolina University, 2014)In the Albemarle Sound and Chowan River, North Carolina, river herring (alewife and blueback herring) once comprised a commercially important fishery; however, this fishery has since collapsed and a moratorium on river ... -
Using Water Chemistry and Otolith Chemistry to Determine Strategic Habitat Areas for Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis) in the Albemarle Estuarine System of North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2015)Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) is an important anadromous species that provides valuable ecological and economic benefits to North Carolina. Habitat degradation, alteration and destruction are ongoing, and agencies are ...
