The
subject amendment to Permit No. 881–
1745, issued on May 10, 2005 (70
FR28910), is requested under the
authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), and the regulations
governing the taking and importing of
marine mammals (50 CFR part 216).
Permit No. 881–1758 authorizes the
permit holder to study growth,
development, and health of harbor seals
(Phoca vitulina) in the ASLC
Rehabilitation Program. In addition to
conducting standard rehabilitation
practices, researchers collect blood,
fecal, and urine samples; collect body
composition measurements using
bioelectrical impedance and deuterium
oxide, sodium bromide, Evan’s blue
dye, and nitrogen administration
followed by post-administration blood
samples; conduct assimilation efficiency
experiments to study metabolic
development; and collect blubber
biopsies to study fatty acid composition
and contaminant loads. The permit
expires on May 31, 2010.
The permit holder requests
authorization to add ringed (Phoca
hispida), spotted (Phoca largha), ribbon
(Phoca fasciata), and bearded
(Erignathus barbatus) seals undergoing
rehabilitation at the ASLC to the permit
for the same studies currently permitted
on harbor seals. Up to 25 individuals of
each species requested may have the
above procedures performed through
the duration of the permit. The
applicant also proposes changes to
protocols including removing
bioelectrical impedance measurements
and adding blubber ultrasound
measurements for body condition
assessment; and adding resting
metabolic measurements to aid in the
understanding of metabolic changes
associated with health, growth, and
dietary transitions.
Concurrent with the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register,
NMFS is forwarding copies of this
application to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.
