On
November 17, 2014, notice was
published in the Federal Register (79
FR 68413) of a request for a permit to
conduct research on shortnose sturgeon
had been submitted by the above-named
applicant. On June 26, 2015, notice was
published in the Federal Register (80
FR 36770) that the application was
amended to include a request to
conduct research on Atlantic sturgeon.
The requested permit has 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).
Permit No. 19255 authorizes annual
takes of endangered shortnose and
Atlantic sturgeon to document nursery
areas, individual movement patterns,
seasonal movements, home ranges, and
habitat usage(s) in the Delaware River.
The authorized activities include
capture of shortnose and Atlantic
shortnose with gillnets. It also
authorizes individuals to be weighed,
measured, marked with Passive
Integrated Transponder (PIT), T-bar
tagged, anesthetized, acoustic tagged,
genetic tissue sampled, gastric lavaged,
and photographed. It also authorized
one unintentional mortality per species
during the life of the permit. Specific
activities and number of animals
authorized per species are found on the
permit. The shortnose sturgeon research
activities are a continuation of the ones
authorized under the DNREC expired
Permit No. 14396 (75 FR 4043). The
Atlantic sturgeon research activities
were incorporated from the ones
authorized under the DNREC Permit No.
16431 (76 FR 58469), which was set to
expire April 5, 2017. Permit No. 16431
was terminated with issuance of Permit
No. 19225, valid until February 5, 2021.
Issuance of this permit, as required by
the ESA, was based on a finding that
such permit (1) was applied for in good
faith, (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered or
threatened species, and (3) is consistent
with the purposes and policies set forth
in section 2 of the ESA.
