The Fishes of the Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge THE FISHES OF THE CAROLINA SANDHILLS NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE by Larry L. Olmsted and Donald G. Cloutman Final Report to United States Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service March 1978 INTRODUCTION The Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife has established more than 300 national wildlife refuges for management of waterfowl, large mammals, and certain endangered species. Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1939 as a wildlife demonstration area (USlll, Fish and Wildlife Service 1968). Although management practices and developments are designed primarily to Improve the habitat of certain birds and mammals, the area also serves as a sanctuary for many other forms of life, including fishes. Little information is available concerning the fishes of the Sandhills region in South Carolina, and no detailed studies have been conducted previously on the refuge. Welsh (1916) reported on fishes he collected during a canoe journey in the Lumber, Pee Dee, and Waccamaw drainages from Pinebluff, North Carolina to Georgetown, South Carolina, and Carolina Power and Light Company (1976) has surveyed the fishes of Lake Robinson and Black Creek south of the refuge. This present study was initiated to provide distributional data on fishes of the Sandhills region and to formulate management recommendations for protecting threatened species or species of economic or ecological interest on the refuge. DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY AREA The Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge (Fig. 1) consists of 46,000 acres (18,600 ha) in a wide band of sandhills along the Fall Line between the Coastal Plain and Piedmont Plateau in Chesterfield County, South Carolina. Elevations range from 250 to 500 ft (75 to 150 m) above sea level. The. soi 1 is predominantly sand with occasional red clay outcroppings. Before 1939, most of the land was cleared and burned over, but under protection it has returned to stands of pre­ dominantly longleaf pine· and scrub oak forest with scattered areas cultivated for wildlife management. 2 --m>., 7 -I 33 29 __--.., , 30 5 km SOUTH CAROLINA 31 .-.. Figure I. Map of the Carolina Sandhills National ~lildlife Refuge showing collection localities. The eastern portion of the refuge drains into Black Creek and its tributaries (Fig. l). The water is clear but stained brown or black due to organic acids. The larger creeks have steep banks, deep channels, and moderate flows. Flood­ plain swamps, consisting of areas periodically flooded by rains and high stream­ flow, occur along some of the large creeks. Tributaries are similar except they are usually shallower and flows are swifter. Aquatic macrophytes are generally abundant and submerged trees and debris are common. Vegetation along the streams consists largely of swamp forest or dense stands of evergreen shrubs (Ericaceae). Many small Impoundments have been constructed on the tributaries. The impoundments have clear dark water and support extensive beds of macrophytes. The western portion of the refuge drains into the Lynches River and its tributaries. Tributaries of the Lynches River are similar to those of Black Creek except they are deeper and swifter. The mainstream of the Lynches River originates in the Piedmont Plateau, and in the vicinity of the refuge is characterized by slightly stained and turbid water and predominantly clay banks. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 1976 through August 1977, 14 collections in the Lynches drainage and 42 in the Black Creek drainage were made using seines, dip nets, gill nets, and a backpack electrofisher. Most collections were made with the seine because low conductivity limited the effectiveness of the electrofisher. Gi 11 nets were used in the impoundments and deep pools in Black Creek. Nomenclature in this report is according to Bailey et al. (1970). Comments regarding "threatened" and "special concern" status refer to suggestions by Loyacano and Gilbert (In Press). Specimens collected in this study are deposited in museums at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Duke Power Company, Environmental Sciences Unit, and U. S. National Museum, Washington, D.

  • Endangered Species
    FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

  • The Black~-Banded Sunfish ~ Enneacanthu~ Chaetodon
    THE BLACK~-BANDED SUNFISH ~ ENNEACANTHU~ CHAETODON The Blac~-banded Sunfish was one of the first native fishes to be kept by American aquartsts, Shimmering silver and black, gliding majestically through the aquascape, they present an exciting cha­ llenge to the keeper of indigenous fishes. To encourage fellow aquar.~3tS to acquire and breed this miniature beauty We will att­ empt to review past literature and relate it to our own·observa­ tions. The Black-banded Sunfish belongs to the order of "perch-shaped :f5_sh~':s" or Perciformes, sub-order Percoidei, and the family Cen­ tx·archidae,Named Pomotis chaetodon by Baird in .L854, it was later renamed Mesogonist~us chaetodor and is currently known as Ennea­ canthus chaetodon. We affectionately call them "chaets" ("keets") to s~mpl~fy th~ngs. · Stoye (1971) notes that E. chaetodon (chaets) were first collect- .ed in the.swamps of Southern New Jersey and introduced into Ger­ many in 1897, although they were not kept by American aquarists until 1910. In addition to New Jersey the range includes Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida. Informative reports by Quinn {1967a,b) and Coombs(l97J) recorded water acidity at 6,4 pH and below in some areas. Quinn observes that "waving fronds of sphagnum moss" and decaying plant material are abundant in the lowlands of the pine barrensa these factors account, for the most part, for the acidic water quality. Although we have ·acclimated chaets to 8,2 pH water, we found that they stayed in better health and bred when maintained at 7,0 pH or be­ low.

  • Historic Rainfall and Record-Breaking Flooding from Hurricane Florence in the Pee Dee Watershed
    Journal of South Carolina Water Resources, Volume 6, Issue 1, Pages 28–35, 2019 Historic Rainfall and Record-Breaking Flooding from Hurricane Florence in the Pee Dee Watershed MELISSA GRIFFIN1, MARK MALSICK1, HOPE MIZZELL1, AND LEAH MOORE1 AUTHORS: 1SC State Climatology Office, SC Department of Natural Resources, 1000 Assembly Street Columbia, SC 29201 . KEYWORDS: Florence, flooding, average return intervals, rainfall, ARI . With the advancements of software packages and data visualization, much of the analysis and information on the impact and historical perspective of the rainfall from Tropical Storm Florence included in our online ERSI Story Map is not viable to translate into the print format standards required by many publications. However, with the newly enacted Journal of South Carolina Resources policy, our article creates a precedent in how the Journal will address submittals that include subject matter available on the internet, by permanently archiving the information, and applying a structured peer-review process to the content. Abstract. For the third time in four years, record-breaking flooding occurred in South Carolina. Hurricane Florence, which made landfall near Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, on September 14, 2018, moved slowly across South Carolina from September 14–17, 2018. Over those four days, heavy rain fell over portions of the Pee Dee Watershed and eastern North Carolina, with over 30 inches of rain measured by an observer in Swansboro, North Carolina. Most of the excessive rainfall was confined to the Pee Dee region, with reported totals of over 24 inches in Horry County, while closer to the Savannah River Valley observers measured less than an inch of rain.

  • 2010 303(D) List Due to Standard Attainment, Identified Pollutant Or Listing Error
    The State of South Carolina’s 2010 Integrated Report Part I: Listing of Impaired Waters INTRODUCTION The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (Department) developed this priority list of waterbodies pursuant to Section §303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) and Federal Regulation 40 CFR 130.7 last revised in 1992. The listing identifies South Carolina waterbodies that do not currently meet State water quality standards after application of required controls for point and nonpoint source pollutants. Use attainment determinations were made using water quality data collected from 2004-2008. Pollution severity and the classified uses of waterbodies were considered in establishing priorities and targets. The list will be used to target waterbodies for further investigation, additional monitoring, and water quality improvement measures, including Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). Over the past three decades, impacts from point sources to waterbodies have been substantially reduced through point source controls achieved via National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. Since 1990, steady progress in controlling nonpoint source impacts has also been made through implementation of South Carolina’s Nonpoint Source Management Program. In conjunction with TMDL development and implementation, the continued expansion and promotion of these and other state and local water quality improvement programs are expected to be effective in reducing the number of impaired waterbodies. In compliance with 40 CFR 25.4(c), the Department, beginning February 8, 2010, issued a public notice in statewide newspapers, to ensure broad notice of the Department's intent to update its list of impaired waterbodies. Public input was solicited.
