RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 



The 27 species of fish collected from Duke Swamp and 24 species 

 collected from Hoggard Mill Creek were typical of lowland blackwater 

 streams (Table 1). Differences in the species lists can be largely attribut- 

 ed to those smaller species less susceptible to capture, and those represent- 

 ed by low numbers of individuals which may actually occur in both 

 streams. Several additional species were reported from these areas by Par- 

 due et al. (1975). 



Population estimates of markable-size fish in the sampled sections of 

 Duke Swamp and Hoggard Mill Creek are presented on a per hectare 

 basis in Table 2 and 3. The area of water considered was only that con- 

 tained within the main stream channel and did not reflect increases in sur- 

 face area which occurred when water levels rose above the main channel 

 banks.
