No sexually ripe individuals were collected during the study period, but based on the literature, it is believed that young-of-the-year fish captured in late winter (February) and early spring (March) were spawned during the fall. Scales were examined to determine age and growth. Young-of-the-year (age class 0) fish dominated the catches, but age classes 1-3 were also observed.

Summary	The age, growth and food habits of Scophthalmus aquosus were examined from January through November, 1976. The lower 35 km of the Cape Fear River and adjacent ocean provided the specimens for analysis. Neomysis americanos, a mysid shrimp, was the dominant food source throughout the year. Based on the literature, Scophthalmus aquosus has a split spawning period in North Carolina waters, starting in April and recommencing in the Fall. No sexually ripe individuals were collected during the study period, but based on the literature, it is believed that young-of-the-year fish captured in late winter (February) and early spring (March) were spawned during the fall.
