This is one of the first Cape Fear Shiners produced at Edenton NFH. In cooperation with the NC Wildlife Commission and the USFWS Eastern Carolina Ecological Services, Edenton NFH transported adult Cape Fear shiners to the hatchery, and the adults spawned in captivity. The goal of this program is to boost numbers of Cape Fear shiners while improvements are made to their habitat.
