SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject modification to Permit No.
20314, issued on March 29, 2017 (82 FR
16996), is requested under the authority
of the Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (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. 20314 authorizes the
permit holder to conduct scientific
research on Atlantic sturgeon to identify
the overall health of the Chesapeake Bay
discreet population segment, monitor
reproductive success, spawning adult
and juvenile abundance in tributaries,
and evaluate movement patterns and
habitat preferences in and between
tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay.
Sampling gear includes anchored/
floating gillnets and trawl nets. After
capture, fish are externally tagged,
tissue sampled, measured, and weighed
prior to release. A subset of fish are fin
ray sampled and internally tagged with
acoustic devices. Early life stages of
Atlantic sturgeon are lethally collected
to document occurrence of spawning in
river systems. Up to two Atlantic
sturgeon juvenile and one adult/subadult life stages may unintentionally die
during research annually. Due to an
increase in the abundance of juvenile
year classes of Atlantic sturgeon in the
James River and to accommodate
improvements in population abundance
and index estimates, the permit holder
is requesting an increase in the numbers
of this juvenile life stage that may be
captured, marked, measured, weighed,
photoed, and released from 100 to 500
animals, annually. The permit expires
March 31, 2027.
Dated: April 23, 2020.
