MLiiiun ? a new crime
prevention program called
"Wildlife Watch" has been
endorsed by Governor Hunt
and adopted by the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission as a part of the
state's efforts to better con
serve wildlife resources.
The program is designed to
reduce the abuses of North
Carolina's wildlife resources
by encouraging citizens to
report wildlife violations and
other detrimental activities.
The program presents an
effort to further improve
wildlife conservation in the
state by motivating and in
volving the public.
Tom Ford of Deep Run is the
initiator of the idea and was
recently appointed chairman
of the program's steering
committee.
"This program is similar to
the highly successful crime
watch program," said Ford,
"except that by simply dialing
a single toll-free phone
number, a person can contact
a Wildlife Resources Com
mission stan duty officer who
can then use a statewide rtdio
network to dispatch officers to
the scene of the crime or
problem.
'This can be of tremendous
value in reporting violations of
wildlife laws and regulations,
and can also act as a
preventive measure against,
such activities. We know (hat
the program can Wt>rk
because we have already tried
it in several Eastern coun
ties."
At a meeting with the
program's steering com
mittee, Governor Hunt stated
that "Wildlife Watch wilfgive
the people of North Carolina
an excellent opportunity to
become involved in the4
stewardship of the state's
valuable wildlife resources."
While more details on
Wildlife Watch will 1 be
available soon, the toll-free
phone line is already in' ser
vice, and anyone wishing to
report violations or abuses
may do so by calling 1-800-662

Viability study
is underway
WELDON ? Biologists from
the N. C. Wildlife Resources
Commission's Division of
Inland Fisheries are working
at the Weldon Research
Station to determine why
striped bass egg viability has
declined in the Roanoke
River.
"We are running a series of
tests on striped bass eggs,
adult fish and fry to see what
pollutant is causing this
problem," said Don Baker,
chief of the Commission's
Division of Inland Fisheries.
"We are not going to buy any
striped bass eggs from
fishermen for these tests. We
need sufficient numbers of
fish in short-time periods from
specific locations for these
experiments, and we plan on
taking fish with electro-fishing
boats as they are needed."
Biologists have recently
become alarmed about the
sudden drop in egg viability in
striped bass in Roanoke
River. Research done by Dr.
William Hassler of N. C. State
University's Department of
Zoology shows that egg
viability dropped to 56 per
cent; and in 1978, it had
plummeted to 39 percent,
which is the lowest viability
recorded.
Viability measures the
percentage of eggs which are
alive and capable
developing after bein^
released by the fish on. the
spawning grounds.
"We're very concerned
about the drop in egg viability
in these fish," said Baker, "If
egg viability problems con
tinue and we have additional
poor years for survival of
young fish, the striper
population in AlbemarW?
Sound will continue to
decline."
The tests will be conducted
using striped bass brood fish,
eggs and fry. Some fish will be
hatched in relatively pure city
water as a "control," while
others will be hatched in river
water.
By comparing spawning
success, egg viability anv fr)M
survival in the river water and
city water, biologists hope to
determine whether the
problem is a toxicant affecting
the eggs after they have been
released into the water 01) the
spawning grounds.
Adult fish tissue, eggs and
fry will also be analyzed to
determine the concentration
of various toxicants in th?
living tissues. These toxicants
include heavy metals,
pesticide residues and PCfis.
