Croatan National Forest Fishes 
107 
JV. hudsomus , Spottail shiner 
3 specimens, station 23. NCWRC. Found only in Trent River and 
tributaries. 
JV. procne , Swallowtail shiner 
NCWRC. Taken only in Trent River and tributaries. Representative 
specimens are in NCSM collection. 
Enmyzon oblongus oblongus , Creek chubsucker 
70 specimens, stations 3, 6, 7, 19, 21, 23, 29, 38, 45, 46. J, NCWRC. 
E. sucetta , Lake chubsucker 
138 specimens, stations 8, 10, 33. H, NCWRC. We encountered some 
difficulty in identifying certain Croatan specimens. Hanley (1976) stated 
that E. oblongus oblongus and E. sucetta hybridize in the drainage ditches of 
the forest probably as a result of habitat alteration. 
Moxostoma spp., Redhorses 
NCWRC tentatively recorded M. collapsum ( = anisurum) from a Trent 
River tributary and M. papillosum from the White Oak River. R. E. 
Jenkins (pers. comm.) believes that either M. amsurum or M. macro- 
lepidotum may be present in Forest waters, as both have been collected 
from the lower Neuse in the vicinity of New Bern. We did not collect 
either species. 
Ictalurus catus , White catfish 
K, NCWRC. 
/. natahs, Yellow bullhead 
92 specimens, stations 7, 8, 10, 30, 32, 33, 36, 38, 45-47. B, H, P, 
NCWRC. 
I. nebulosus, Brown bullhead 
J, NCWRC. 
I. punctatus, Channel catfish
