AGENCY:
Notice is hereby given that
NMFS has received two scientific
research permit application requests
relating to Pacific salmon and eulachon.
The proposed research is intended to

under the Endangered Species Act
(ESA) and to help guide management
and conservation efforts. The
applications may be viewed online at:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Species Covered in This Notice
The following listed species are
covered in this notice:
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha): threatened Puget Sound
(PS).
Steelhead (O. mykiss): threatened PS.
Chum salmon (O. Keta): threatened PS.
Eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus):
threatened Southern.
Authority
Scientific research permits are issued
in accordance with section 10(a)(1)(A)
of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq) and
regulations governing listed fish and
wildlife permits (50 CFR parts 222–226).
NMFS issues permits based on findings
that such permits: (1) Are applied for in
good faith; (2) if granted and exercised,
would not operate to the disadvantage
of the listed species that are the subject
of the permit; and (3) are consistent
with the purposes and policy of section
2 of the ESA. The authority to take
listed species is subject to conditions set
forth in the permits.
Anyone requesting a hearing on an
application listed in this notice should
set out the specific reasons why a
hearing on that application would be
appropriate (see ADDRESSES). Such
hearings are held at the discretion of the
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries,
NMFS.
Applications Received
Permit 18792
The Wild Fish Conservancy (WFC) is
seeking a five-year permit to annually
take juvenile PS Chinook salmon and
subadult PS steelhead. The WFC
research may also cause them to take
Southern eulachon, a species for which
there are currently no ESA take
prohibitions. The purpose of the study
is to test native salmonids for pathogens
transmitted from salmon in net pens in
the Puget Sound. The research would
benefit the affected species by (1)
determining the direction and distance
potential pathogen plumes could move
and thereby help managers place net
pens where they would do the least
amount of harm to native fishes, and (2)
identifying areas where such plumes
may affect salmonids. Sampling would
take place in two locations in Puget
Sound: Clam Bay (South Puget Sound)
and Deepwater Bay (Whidbey Basin).
The WFC proposes to use beach seines
to capture fish twice each month at
multiple sites near both locations. The

first ten juvenile coho, chum, pink, and
hatchery Chinook captured during each
sampling event would be killed and
tissue samples (gill, kidney, heart)
would be taken. Any remaining fish
from each sample would be
anesthetized, identified by species,
measured, checked for sea lice, and
released.

Permit 18819
The WFC is seeking a five-year permit
to annually take juvenile and adult PS
Chinook salmon, HCS chum salmon,
and PS steelhead. The WFC research
may also cause them to take Southern
eulachon, a species for which there are
currently no ESA take prohibitions. The
purpose of the study is to determine the
relative abundance, distribution, and
emigration timing of juvenile chum
salmon in the Hood Canal and tidallyinfluenced portions of its major
tributaries. The research would benefit
the affected species by determining
juvenile salmonid out-migrant timing,
use of nearshore rearing habitats, and
key habitat associations (i.e. eelgrass
and kelp beds, gravel beaches, mudflats,
and modified vs. unmodified
shorelines). Sampling would take place
in 30 locations throughout Hood Canal.
The WFC proposes to use fyke nets and
beach seines to capture fish twice each
month from December through May.
The salmonids and steelhead would be
identified by species and enumerated. A
subset of all fish would also be
measured, and tissue samples would be
taken from the chum and wild Chinook
salmon. Juvenile coded-wire tagged
(CWT) coho and Chinook salmon would
be sacrificed to determine their
hatcheries of origin and to provide
stock-specific information about how
and where they use nearshore habitats.
All other fish would be released after
handling. The researchers do not
propose to kill any other listed species
being captured, but a small number may
die as an unintended result of the
activities.
This notice is provided pursuant to
section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will
evaluate the applications, associated
documents, and comments submitted to
determine whether the applications
meet the requirements of section 10(a)
of the ESA and Federal regulations. The
final permit decisions will not be made
until after the end of the 30-day
comment period. NMFS will publish
notice of its final action in the Federal
Register.
