identified as a NMFS ‘‘species of
concern’’ in 2006. A species of concern
is one for which we have concerns
regarding status and threats but for
which insufficient information is
available to indicate a need to list the
species under the ESA. In identifying
species of concern, we consider
demographic and genetic diversity
concerns; abundance and productivity;
distribution; life history characteristics
and threats to the species. Given the
information presented in the status
review report and the findings of this
listing determination, we are removing
the thorny skate from the ‘‘species of
concern’’ list.
