The applicant proposes to collect, necropsy, sample, and salvage dead shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) found beached, sunken, floating etc., or taken legally during other authorized activities, for the purposes of education and scientific research. The purpose of the proposed research is to use the collected sturgeon to support past, ongoing, and anticipated research including, but not limited to, morphology, genetics, histopathology, contaminants, age and growth, food habits, and human impact/ anthropogenic mortality. Additionally, this work would help promote the conservation of shortnose sturgeon by enabling educators to receive and maintain parts from deceased sturgeon. The number of fish collected annually would vary, but likely would not exceed 100 per year, unless there was a catastrophic event (e.g. oil spill, fish kill). Carcasses would be collected opportunistically throughout their range PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 54643 (east coast and rivers of the United States in the northeast and southeast regions) for a period of five years.
