But two North Carolina Sea Grant researchers and a scientist from the University of Wisconsin decided to take a different approach. They examined the .1 percent of larvae that lived to find clues to their survival. For their research, zoologists James Rice and Larry Crowder of North Caro- lina State University, and Mark Holey of Wisconsin, received an award from the American Fisheries Society at the annual meeting Sept. 14 in Toronto. Plaques were given for publishing the "most significant paper" in the 1987 volume of the Transactions of the American Fisheries Society. The team studied growth rings in the inner ear of this commercially important fish and found that the fish's size or growth rate influenced survival. They also identified a direct correlation be- tween bloater populations and its main predator, the alewife. "The concept they're working on is at the forefront of science," says UNC Sea Grant Director Copeland. Under- standing the relationship between size and survival is crucial to fisheries management, he adds. Rice and Crowd- er have transferred their findings to a companion Sea Grant study in North Carolina using spot and flounder. ©Coast to coast, recrea- tional fishermen spend millions of dollars every year on saltwater fishing tournaments. And these tournaments are no long- er small contests among friends. They have grown into large money-making businesses, with the same headaches of publicity, money management and legal decisions as any other commercial venture. But for every tournament that suc- ceeds, another falls by the wayside. Now, there's a book that
