SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject modification to Permit No.
1547–01, issued on March 22, 2007, is
requested 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 222–226).
The permit holder is currently
authorized under Permit No. 1547–01 to
conduct scientific research to evaluate
seasonal movement of shortnose
sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) in the
Haverstraw and Newburgh Bays of the
Hudson River. Annually, a maximum of
500 adult and juvenile shortnose
sturgeon are captured with gill nets,
measured, weighed, genetic tissue
sampled, scanned for tags, PIT and
Carlin tagged (if untagged), and
released. The applicant proposes to
annually perform anesthesia and gastric
lavage on up to 200 fish. The researcher
also requests an unintentional mortality
of one shortnose sturgeon annually. The
goal of the additional research would be
to document the diet of shortnose
sturgeon occupying the same habitat as
Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser
oxyrhynchus oxyrhynchus) in the lower
Hudson River. This modification would
be valid through the expiration date of
the original permit, October 31, 2011.
All other aspects of the currently
permitted activity would remain the
same.
