Juvenile Carolina madtoms, Noturus furiosus, at Conservation Fisheries in Knoxville, Tennessee. Collected as eggs in the Tar River drainage of North Carolina. These fish are less than one year old, and have very different markings than adult Carolina madtoms.

They are candidates for endangered species listing.

This fish depends mussels to survive; empty mussel shells provide them with both cover and nesting habitat. Mussels are in trouble, and which hurts this fish. Factory farms and introduced flathead catfish are leading to their demise as well.
