Cape Fear Terrace

Extensive hard ground (reef) habitat accounts for about 23% of the available habitat throughout the South Atlantic Bight continental shelf. Generally, these reefs are fossiliferous limestone and sandstone outcrops. These can be divided into two more or less distinct continental shelf habitats. The live-bottom habitat (30-64 meter depth) consists of low rock ridges, outcroppings, coral patches, and ship wrecks. The shelf-break habitat is a fairly continuous band of high profile (5-20+ meters) hard grounds in depths greater than 64 meters and consists of jagged peaks, precipitous cliffs, and rocky ledges. This habitat is particularly extensive off North Carolina in Onslow Bay. These deepwater outcrops, along with the many shipwrecks in the region, support a diverse assemblage of tropical and subtropical fishes. A number of species, such as the roughtongue bass, streamer bass, and red barbier, are not found on shallower live-bottom reefs. Major commercial and recreational fisheries exploit these reef fish communities with North Carolina representing the northernmost range of these fisheries. North Carolina ranks second to Florida in total commercial reef fish landings. In 2000, North Carolina commercial fishing vessels landed 39% of the total reef fish landings in the South Atlantic Bight: 69% of the black sea bass, 65% blueline tilefish, 54% red grouper, 52% white grunt, 48% vermilion snapper, and 37% snowy grouper.
