Spring Creek 7.1 rkm upstream from its mouth in July 1994 (S. Bryan, personal 

 communication, 1994) (Fig. 8). Preferred habitat in the river was runs with large 

 boulders. Current at our Spring Creek site was 0.58 m/sec, pH 7.1-7.6, and dis- 

 solved oxygen concentration 7.1-10.5 ppm. Its status of threatened is warranted. 



Freshwater drum, Aplodinotus grunniens Rafinesque 



The freshwater drum occurs throughout the Mississippi River basin 

 from southern Canada and the Great Lakes to western Texas and western Flori- 

 da (Rohde et al. 1994). Prior to this survey, it was known in North Carolina from 

 six sites in the lower reaches of the French Broad River downstream of Redmon 

 Dam, Madison County (Harned 1979) (Fig. 7). We collected one large specimen 

 (305 mm TL) in a pool in Spring Creek, at a point 1 rkm upstream of its conflu- 

 ence with the French Broad River, on 22 July 1994, and E. Menhinick (personal 

 communication, 1994) took one specimen in the same month in Spring Creek at 

 this confluence (Fig. 7). Its status of threatened is warranted due to the lack of 

 juveniles in collections.
