Analysis of a 41-year data set : Environmental influences on the fish assemblages of Albemarle Sound, North Carolina
Gillum, Zachary D. (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 ... -
Bioenergetics and Trophic Impacts of Invasive Indo-Pacific Lionfish
Cerino, David S. (East Carolina University, 2010)Indo-Pacific lionfish, Pterois volitans and Pterois miles, are non-native marine fish with established populations in the western North Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Rapid population growth threatens native fish ... -
Biogeographic Characterization of Fishes from Intertidal Sandflats in Pamlico River, North Carolina
Mabe, M. Wayne (East Carolina University, 2012)The spatial and temporal changes in fish community structure in Pamlico River, North Carolina were analyzed. Salinity and temperature are important water quality parameters influencing fish community structure in estuaries. ... -
Characterizing Environmental and Physicochemical Conditions in Nursery Areas of River Herring in Chowan River, North Carolina
Butler, Matthew G. (East Carolina University, 2012)Anadromous fishes such as blueback herring Alosa aestivalis and alewife A. pseudoharengus, utilize sounds, rivers, and tributaries during spawning. Collectively known as river herring, these two ecologically important ... -
Distribution Patterns of Juvenile Spotted Seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus) and Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) Along Shallow Beach Habitats in Pamlico River, North Carolina
Powers, J. Phillip (East Carolina University, 2012)The association of juvenile spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus) and red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) with Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) is well documented. However, their association with other estuarine habitats ... -
Evaluating Spatial and Temporal Overlap Between Larval Alosines and Potential Zooplankton Prey in Lower Roanoke River and Albemarle Sound, North Carolina
Binion, Samantha M. (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 ... -
A Synthesis of Red Drum Feeding Ecology and Diets from North Carolina and South Carolina
Peacock, Tyler (East Carolina University, 2014)The trophic interactions of the red drum Sciaenops ocellatus have been previously researched. However diet data on the largest adults (>750mm TL) are very limited. As fisheries management moves towards a goal of multi-species ...
