species (50 CFR parts 222–226).
The applicant proposes to gather life
history information on smalltooth
sawfish. The purpose of the research is
to investigate the movements and
habitat use of smalltooth sawfish in
Florida waters, primarily in the region

Islands. Up to 100 neonate and 40
juvenile and adult sawfish would be
captured annually by longline, gillnet,
seine net, and recreational angling gear.
All captured sawfish are measured,
tagged, sampled, and released. Tagging
methods would include dart tags,
passive integrated transponder tags, and
external satellite tags (e.g., Smart
Position Only Transmitting tags, Pop-Up
Archival Transmitting tags) and internal
acoustic tags. Tissue and blood samples
would also be taken. Dead sawfish
acquired through strandings or from law
enforcement confiscations would be
sampled for scientific purposes. The
permit is requested for a duration of 5
years.
