SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commercial Fisheries Research
Foundation (CFRF) submitted a
complete application for a 1-year
renewal to an existing Exempted
Fishing Permit (EFP) on May 15, 2014.
To conduct its research on the
abundance and distribution of juvenile
American lobster in Lobster
Management Areas (LMAs) 2 and 3, the
CFRF is requesting exemptions from the
following Federal lobster regulations: (1)
Gear specifications to allow for closed
escape vents, as prohibited in
§ 697.21(c); (2) trap limits to be
exceeded by 3 additional traps per
fishing vessel, for a total of 36
additional traps, as prohibited in
§ 697.19(a)(2) for LMA 2, and
§ 697.19(b)(5) for LMA 3; and (3) trap
tag requirements, as specified in
§ 697.19(f). This study would utilize 12
Federal commercial fishing vessels; 6
vessels in each of the 2 management
areas. One additional vessel would
operate as an alternate vessel, so there
would only be 12 active vessels at any
given time. Sampling would take place
in the following statistical areas: 464
(Area 3 region); 512 (Area 3 region); 515;
525; 526; 537; 538; 539; 561; 562; and
616.
Funding for this study will be
provided through NOAA grant
NA09NMF4720414, as part of the
Southern New England Collaborative
Research Initiative Program (SNECRI).
One of the main objectives of the
SNECRI is to improve collection and
management of fishery-dependent data.
This study would attempt to achieve
this goal.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
23:20 Jul 17, 2014
Jkt 232001
The study would take place during
regular fishing activity, and sampling
would take place on each vessel in Area
2 once per week during scheduled
fishing trips, and once every 10 days in
Area 3 during scheduled fishing trips. If
an EFP is granted, there would be an
additional 36 modified traps in the
water during any given time, for a
period of one year. Each participating
vessel would have up to three modified
traps attached to a regular trap trawl, to
be hauled every 6 to 9 days. The
addition of 36 modified traps would
increase the total number of traps in the
fishery by 0.003 percent.
Modifications to a conventional
lobster trap would include a closed
escape vent, single parlor, smaller mesh
size, and smaller entrance head. These
modified traps would be attached to
one, two, or three randomly selected
trap trawl(s) during regular fishing
operations. Lobsters retrieved from
these modified traps would remain
onboard for a short period of time to
allow for sampling, after which they
would be returned to the water.
Biological information will be
collected on both kept and discarded
lobsters, including: Carapace length;
sexual determination; and presence of
eggs, v-notches, and shell disease. For
every trap trawl hauled during a
designated sampling trip, commercial
fishermen would be expected to sample
100 lobsters, or 20 traps if there are less
than 100 lobsters to sample in a
randomly chosen trap trawl. This study
would use several recording devices,
including onboard electronic calipers
for length measurements, video
cameras, and waterproof tablets. Data
will be recorded using waterproof
tablets, and the information will be
uploaded using wireless internet
connection once the vessel returns to
port.
If approved, the applicant may
request minor modifications and
extensions to the EFP throughout the
year. EFP modifications and extensions
may be granted without further notice if
they are deemed essential to facilitate
completion of the proposed research
and have minimal impacts that do not
change the scope or impact of the
initially approved EFP request. Any
fishing activity conducted outside the
scope of the exempted fishing activity
would be prohibited.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commercial Fisheries Research Foundation
(CFRF) submitted a complete application for a 1-year renewal to an
existing Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) on May 15, 2014. To conduct its
research on the abundance and distribution of juvenile American lobster
in Lobster Management Areas (LMAs) 2 and 3, the CFRF is requesting
exemptions from the following Federal lobster regulations: (1) Gear
specifications to allow for closed escape vents, as prohibited in Sec.
697.21(c); (2) trap limits to be exceeded by 3 additional traps per
fishing vessel, for a total of 36 additional traps, as prohibited in
Sec. 697.19(a)(2) for LMA 2, and Sec. 697.19(b)(5) for LMA 3; and (3)
trap tag requirements, as specified in Sec. 697.19(f). This study
would utilize 12 Federal commercial fishing vessels; 6 vessels in each
of the 2 management areas. One additional vessel would operate as an
alternate vessel, so there would only be 12 active vessels at any given
time. Sampling would take place in the following statistical areas: 464
(Area 3 region); 512 (Area 3 region); 515; 525; 526; 537; 538; 539;
561; 562; and 616.
Funding for this study will be provided through NOAA grant
NA09NMF4720414, as part of the Southern New England Collaborative
Research Initiative Program (SNECRI). One of the main objectives of the
SNECRI is to improve collection and management of fishery-dependent
data. This study would attempt to achieve this goal.
The study would take place during regular fishing activity, and
sampling would take place on each vessel in Area 2 once per week during
scheduled fishing trips, and once every 10 days in Area 3 during
scheduled fishing trips. If an EFP is granted, there would be an
additional 36 modified traps in the water during any given time, for a
period of one year. Each participating vessel would have up to three
modified traps attached to a regular trap trawl, to be hauled every 6
to 9 days. The addition of 36 modified traps would increase the total
number of traps in the fishery by 0.003 percent.
Modifications to a conventional lobster trap would include a closed
escape vent, single parlor, smaller mesh size, and smaller entrance
head. These modified traps would be attached to one, two, or three
randomly selected trap trawl(s) during regular fishing operations.
Lobsters retrieved from these modified traps would remain onboard for a
short period of time to allow for sampling, after which they would be
returned to the water.
Biological information will be collected on both kept and discarded
lobsters, including: Carapace length; sexual determination; and
presence of eggs, v-notches, and shell disease. For every trap trawl
hauled during a designated sampling trip, commercial fishermen would be
expected to sample 100 lobsters, or 20 traps if there are less than 100
lobsters to sample in a randomly chosen trap trawl. This study would
use several recording devices, including onboard electronic calipers
for length measurements, video cameras, and waterproof tablets. Data
will be recorded using waterproof tablets, and the information will be
uploaded using wireless internet connection once the vessel returns to
port.
If approved, the applicant may request minor modifications and
extensions to the EFP throughout the year. EFP modifications and
extensions may be granted without further notice if they are deemed
essential to facilitate completion of the proposed research and have
minimal impacts that do not change the scope or impact of the initially
approved EFP request. Any fishing activity conducted outside the scope
of the exempted fishing activity would be prohibited.
