dwashington3 on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
and threatened southern DPS of North
American green sturgeon (Acipenser
medirostris).
Applications Received
USFWS-Stockton requests a 3–year
permit (13791) for take of juvenile
Sacramento River winter-run Chinook
salmon, Central Valley spring-run
Chinook salmon, and Central Valley
steelhead associated with research on
salmonid migratory behavior at
monitoring locations in the Sacramento
River basin and in the Sacramento-San
Joaquin Delta, in California. USFWSStockton requests authorization for an
estimated annual take of 3,000 juvenile
Central Valley salmonids for three
consecutive years resulting from capture
(by seine, trawl, gill and fyke net),
handling, anesthetizing, measuring,
tissue sampling, scale sampling, tag
scanning, and release of fish. A
subsample of incidental mortalities may
be retained by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service office in Red Bluff, CA
as a teaching collection and as a source
of tissues for genetic and life history
analysis. USFWS-Stockton requests
authorization for an estimated total take
of 39 adult and 2591 juvenile winter-run
Chinook salmon (that includes 12.8
percent and 2.0 percent incidental
mortality, respectively), 29 adult and
12317 juvenile spring-run Chinook
salmon (that includes 17.2 percent and
1.2 percent incidental mortality), 49
adult and 632 juvenile steelhead (12.2
percent and 3.5 percent incidental
mortality), and 14 adult and 15 juvenile
green sturgeon (no associated mortality),
resulting from capture, handling,
measuring, and releasing of fish.
FISHBIO requests a 5–year permit
(14092) for incidental take of threatened
Central Valley steelhead in the lower
Stanislaus River associated with a study
that aims to characterize fish species
composition, abundance, and seasonal
distribution; evaluate juvenile Chinook
salmon rearing extent, timing, and
locations; and determine potential
limiting factors for juvenile rearing and
mitigation. FISHBIO requests
authorization for an estimated annual
take of 34 adult and 249 juvenile
steelhead (that includes 5.9 percent and
5.6 percent incidental mortality,
respectively) resulting from capture by
seine, pack or boat electrofishing;
handling, measuring, and releasing of
fish.
IEP requests modification of a 10–year
permit (1440) for incidental take of
adult and juvenile Sacramento River
winter-run Chinook salmon, Central
Valley spring-run Chinook salmon,
Central Valley steelhead, Central
California Coast steelhead, and southern

DPS of green sturgeon associated with
research studies located throughout the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay-Delta that
aim to evaluate the effects of water
export facilities (State Water Project and
Central Valley Water Project) on aquatic
organisms. IEP requests authorization
for an estimated annual take of 38 adult
and 289 juvenile winter-run Chinook
salmon (that includes 10.5 percent and
7.3 percent incidental mortality,
respectively), 105 adult and 1894
juvenile spring-run Chinook salmon
(that includes 9.5 percent and 6.3
percent incidental mortality), 37 adult
and 240 juvenile steelhead (that
includes 8.1 percent and 5.4 percent
incidental mortality), 2 juvenile Central
California Coast steelhead (no
mortality), and 272 adult and sub-adult
green sturgeon (that includes 4.0
percent of incidental mortality),
resulting from capture (by various
methodologies, including net, seine,
hook-and-line, and boat electrofishing)
handling, biological sampling, and
releasing of fish.
