The Effects of Channelization Upon the Fish Populations of Lotic Waters in Eastern North Carolina
This paper concerns an evaluation of the effects of habitat alteration associated with stream channelization in eastern North Carolina. The evaluation was based upon a comparison of fish populations found in 23 channeled streams, and 36 proximate natural streams within the Chowan, Neuse, Northeast Cape Fear, Pamlico, Perquimans, and Tar River Watersheds.
