Measurements were taken from the collected specimens to determine the growth rates of native fish species and an average size at each age. The sunfish (genus Lepomis) were the only group containing sufficient numbers of individuals collected in each section to permit a comparison. Analysis of the data showed that there were more fish of all ages, particularly older fish, in the natural section than in the channelized section. The sunfish in the natural section also generally grew faster, after a longer initial lag, than did the fish from the channelized section. Data is also presented which supports other studies concerning the effects of stream channelization on fish in the respect that game-fish species seem to be more seriously impacted by disturbances associated with channelization than are non-game fish species. It is also believed that the fish populations of the channelized section of Swift Creek are gradually returning to a "natural" state.;

Summary	Fish populations from channelized and natural (old-channelized) portions of Swift Creek, Pitt Co., NC. were sampled using rotenone collection methods. Measurements were taken from the collected specimens to determine the growth rates of native fish species and an average size at each age. The sunfish (genus Lepomis) were the only group containing sufficient numbers of individuals collected in each section to permit a comparison. Analysis of the data showed that there were more fish of all ages, particularly older fish, in the natural section than in the channelized section. The sunfish in the natural section also generally grew faster, after a longer initial lag, than did the fish from the channelized section. Data is also presented which supports other studies concerning the effects of stream channelization on fish in the respect that game-fish species seem to be more seriously impacted by disturbances associated with channelization than are non-game fish species. It is also believed that the fish populations of the channelized section of Swift Creek are gradually returning to a "natural" state.
