On
February 21, 2008, notice was published
in the Federal Register (73 FR 9525)
that a request for a scientific research
permit to take shortnose sturgeon had
been submitted by the above-named
individual. The requested permit has
been issued under the authority of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
and the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222–226).
Dr. Douglas Peterson is authorized to
conduct a five-year scientific research
(presence/absence) study of shortnose
sturgeon in the Saint Marys and Satilla
Rivers, Georgia and Florida. The
purpose of the proposed research is to
assess the current status of shortnose
sturgeon in these rivers, as well as
evaluate the current habitat availability
in each river. If shortnose sturgeon are
found, another objective of the research
will be to quantify the genetic
discreteness and effective population
size of the extant stock.
Specifically, Dr. Peterson is
authorized to capture (by gill or trammel
nets), handle, measure, weigh, PIT tag,
and genetic fin clip up to 85 shortnose
sturgeon annually from each river for
the duration of the permit, or five years.
To document spawning in the rivers, up
to 20 eggs or larvae may be lethally
collected in each river with artificial
substrates. No unintentional mortality
for either river is authorized.
Issuance of this permit, as required by
the ESA, was based on a finding that
such permit (1) was applied for in good
faith, (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered or
threatened species, and (3) is consistent
with the purposes and policies set forth
in section 2 of the ESA.
