Fishing season is right 

 around the corner. If you 

 want to know more about 

 catching, cleaning, storing 

 and eating your favorite 

 species, the following 

 publications should help. 

 See ordering information at 

 the end of this page. 



HOW MANY FISH 

 CAN I CATCH? 



No North Carolina 

 fisherman should be 

 without A Recreational 

 Guide to Management of 

 Fish in South Atlantic 

 Waters. This reference 

 provides current biological 

 data and the latest state and 

 federal regulations for 

 popular species of marine 

 fish found off the North 

 Carolina coast. A handy 

 table describes catch limits 

 in total length, fork length 

 and pounds. This popular 

 guide is updated as regula- 

 tions change. Free. Ask for 

 publication number UNC- 

 SG-89-06. 



DRESSING 

 FOR SUCCESS 



If you want to know 

 the best ways to handle, 

 transport, dress and store 

 fresh fish, you will want to 

 see two of Sea Grant's 

 colorful brochures, Bring- 

 ing the Catch Home and 

 Dressing Finfish. These 

 brochures are aimed at 

 making sure your catch is 

 protected until it reaches 

 your plate. Bringing the 

 Catch Home shows proper 

 methods for handling, 

 transporting and storing 



fresh fish. Dressing Finfish 

 is a handy illustrated guide 

 to cleaning your fish. The 

 brochures are 50 cents 

 each. Ask for publication 

 numbers UNC-SG-86-26 

 and UNC-SG-86-10, 

 respectively.

NEW FROM 

 UNC SEA GRANT 



The presses keep 



Quay, all recognized 

 ornithologists. The text 

 shows how the populations 

 and habitats of hundreds of 

 birds and animals in the 

 Cape Hatteras Seashore 

 have changed over the 

 years. Included are photo- 

 graphs of some of the listed 

 species. For your copy, 

 send $7 and ask for publica- 

 tion number UNC-SG-92- 

 01. 



Also fresh from the Sea 

 Grant presses is Turtle 

 Resuscitation Procedures, 

 a laminated card that 

 describes how trawl net 

 fishermen can help save the 

 lives of turtles caught 

 accidently in their nets. The 

 N.C. Division of Marine 

 Fisheries helped fund this 

 important project. Though 

 aimed expressly at commer- 



cial trawl fishermen, non- 

 fishermen may obtain this 

 free publication from Sea 

 Grant (ask for publication 

 number UNC-SG-92-02) 

 or from the N.C. Division 

 of Marine Fisheries, P.O. 

 Box 769, Morehead City, 

 NC 28557.
