Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 103 / Thursday, May 29, 2014 / Notices 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. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 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.
