This
notice is relevant to Federally
endangered Sacramento River winterrun Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha), threatened Central Valley
spring-run Chinook salmon (O.
tshawytscha), threatened California
Central Valley steelhead (O. mykiss),
and threatened Southern distinct
population segment of North American
green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris).
Permits 15926 and 16083 have 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).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Permit 15926 was issued to UC Davis
Department of Animal Science Genomic
Variation Laboratory (UC Davis) on
September 7, 2011, authorizing the
transfer of ESA-listed tissue specimens
from the California Department of Fish
and Game Central Valley Salmonid
Tissue Archive to UC Davis, for
purposes of genetic investigation. The
archived collection includes tissue
specimens from endangered Sacramento
River (SR) winter-run Chinook salmon
(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha),
threatened Central Valley (CV) springrun Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha),
and threatened California Central Valley
(CCV) steelhead (O. mykiss). UC Davis
will genotype the tissues, utilizing
microsatellite and single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNPs) markers, to study
genetic relationships associated with
different geographic populations and
identify potential salmonid sources for
introduction into the San Joaquin River
Restoration Program project area, below
Friant Dam to the confluence of the
Merced River, a tributary to the San
Joaquin River, in the Central Valley,
California. Permit 15926 will expire on
October 31, 2016.
Permit 16083 was issued to Natural
Resource Scientists, Incorporated (NRSI)
on June 27, 2011, authorizing the take
of ESA-listed SR winter-run Chinook
salmon), CV spring-run Chinook
salmon, CV steelhead and threatened
Southern distinct population segment of
North American (sDPS) green sturgeon
(Acipenser medirostris) for scientific
research purposes. NRSI will collect fish
entrainment data at five unscreened
irrigation water diversions located along
the Sacramento River and Delta, in
Sutter, Yolo and Sacramento counties,
in the Central Valley, California.
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Juvenile fish will be captured by fyke
net, identified to species, enumerated
and measured. Dead or moribund fish
fish will be returned to the irrigation
canals and live fish will be released into
the Sacramento River. The objectives of
the study are: to determine correlation
of fish entrainment with river diversion
flows, to quantify benefits to fish
populations from screening small-scale
agricultural diversions, and to advance
the development of criteria for
prioritizing fish screening projects on
the Sacramento River. Permit 16083 will
expire on January 31, 2013.
