520 3 a| Yellow perch (Perca flavescens) inhabit a diverse geographical range including brackish estuaries along the east coast of the United States. Yellow perch are native to Albemarle Sound in coastal North Carolina. Currently, knowledge is limited for estuarine yellow perch and there is a need to monitor and manage this fishery. To better understand key life history and population parameters for the yellow perch fishery, 2,245 yellow perch were caught from January through March 2005 with perch traps and fyke nets from the Yeopim River area in Albemarle Sound. Eighty-two percent of the fish collected were age-2. Females were significantly larger than the males. Male yellow perch ranged between 150 mm and 180 TL mm, while fish greater than 200 mm were rarely captured. Males were more abundant in the samples, resulting in an 18:1 male to female ratio. Just prior to spawning, yellow perch moved into small creeks (Yeopim Creek, and Bethel Creek) of Yeopim River. As the spawning season continued, it was hypothesized that fish moved into larger deeper (Yeopim River) water to spawn then moved out into Albemarle Sound proper. Estimated instantaneous total mortality rate (Z) was 0.35 and fell within range of values estimated for the Chesapeake Bay yellow perch fishery. Fecundity ranged from 5,000 to 45,000 eggs/female with a mean of 15,135 (S.E.± 9,068 eggs), also within ranges found in the literature. Speculating from yellow perch data collected in 2005 and 2006 from Yeopim River, Yeopim Creek, and Bethel Creek the selectivity of older, larger yellow perch by commercial fishers should be closely monitored.;

Summary	Yellow perch (Perca flavescens) inhabit a diverse geographical range including brackish estuaries along the east coast of the United States. Yellow perch are native to Albemarle Sound in coastal North Carolina. Currently, knowledge is limited for estuarine yellow perch and there is a need to monitor and manage this fishery. To better understand key life history and population parameters for the yellow perch fishery, 2,245 yellow perch were caught from January through March 2005 with perch traps and fyke nets from the Yeopim River area in Albemarle Sound. Eighty-two percent of the fish collected were age-2. Females were significantly larger than the males. Male yellow perch ranged between 150 mm and 180 TL mm, while fish greater than 200 mm were rarely captured. Males were more abundant in the samples, resulting in an 18:1 male to female ratio. Just prior to spawning, yellow perch moved into small creeks (Yeopim Creek, and Bethel Creek) of Yeopim River. As the spawning season continued, it was hypothesized that fish moved into larger deeper (Yeopim River) water to spawn then moved out into Albemarle Sound proper.
