This book was released on 2012 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue a five-year scientific research permit (Permit No. 17095) to Entergy Nuclear Operations Inc., 450 Broadway, Suite 3, Buchanan, NY 10511, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The action would exempt the permit holder from takes of shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) and Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) under the ESA, by capture, harassment, wounding and harm during bona fide scientific research. The purpose of the research would be to monitor sturgeon abundance and distribution through the Hudson River Biological Monitoring Program (HRBMP). The action area includes the Hudson River from River Mile 0 (Battery Park, Manhattan) to River Mile 152 at Troy Dam (Albany, NY). The focus of the monitoring program is fish identification, mark and recapture, and enumeration within defined Hudson River region and depth strata. Researchers would be authorized to non-lethally capture, handle, measure, weigh, scan for tags, insert passive integrated transponder (PIT) and dart tags, photograph, tissue sample, and release up to 82 shortnose sturgeon and 82 Atlantic sturgeon annually. Additionally, researchers would be permitted to lethally take up to 40 shortnose sturgeon eggs and/or larvae and 40 Atlantic sturgeon eggs and/or larvae (ELS) annually"--Abstract.

Book excerpt: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue a permit modification to a five-year scientific research permit (Permit No. 17095) issued to Entergy Nuclear Operations Inc., 450 Broadway, Suite 3, Buchanan, NY 10511, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.c. 1531 et seq.). The action would continue to exempt the permit holder from takes of shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) and Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) under the ESA, by capture, harassment, wounding and hann during bona fide scientific research. Permit No. 17095 currently authorizes the Permit Holder to: monitor shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon abundance and distribution through the Hudson River Biological Monitoring Program (HRBMP) in the Hudson River from River Mile 0 (Battery Park, Manhattan, NY) to River Mile 152 at Troy Dam (Albany, NY). Researchers are authorized to non-lethally capture, handle, measure, weigh, scan for tags, insert passive integrated transponder and dart tags, photograph, tissue sample, and release up to 82 shortnose sturgeon and 82 Atlantic sturgeon annually. Additionally, researchers are permitted to lethally collect up to 40 shortnose sturgeon and up to 40 Atlantic sturgeon eggs and/or larvae (ELS) annually. To account for a higher than expected catch per unit effort of Atlantic sturgeon so far under Permit No. 17095, the Permit Holder now wishes to increase the number of takes for juvenile, sub-adult and adult Atlantic sturgeon to 200 fish per year. However, take would not exceed a total of 600 Atlantic sturgeon captured over the permit life. The number of shortnose sturgeon taken would remain the same. The Permit Holder also requests that the action area be expanded two miles south of the Battery (Manhattan at River Mile 0) to include the upper New York Harbor (~River Mile -2.0). The amount of lethal collection of Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon ELS would remain the same. The modification would be valid until the permit expires August 28, 2017.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the receipt of an application from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), NMFS, Office of Protected Resources (PR) proposes to modify Permit No. 16436 and terminate Permit No. 16439 pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Both permits are held by the NYSDEC. The Permit Holder proposes to continue studying the population dynamics and seasonal habitat use of Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) authorized in Permit 16436 and proposes to consolidate the existing takes of shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) in Permit 16439 and then terminate Permit No. 16439 upon issuance of the modification. The Permit Holder also requests increasing the numbers and procedures for taking both Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon to meet new objectives, including tracking movement, habitat and diet changes in response to major construction projects on the Hudson River. The modification would be valid through the expiration date of the original permit on April 5, 2017.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue a modification to a research permit to Dewayne Fox, PhD., for takes of Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) in the wild, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The modification would be valid through April 5, 2017. The objectives of the research for Atlantic sturgeon would remain unchanged: to collect data on the biology, distribution and abundance of endangered Atlantic sturgeon to facilitate recovery of the species. Three projects fall under the permitted research. The first project authorizes directed mortality of Atlantic sturgeon eggs. As part of the second project, a hydroacoustic assessment survey, 100 Atlantic sturgeon are authorized for capture by gill net, and for measuring, weighing, tissue sampling, and PIT tagging. The third involves the capture of 300 Atlantic sturgeon annually by gill net throughout Delaware's coastal waters, and in the Delaware Bay and River. All captured Atlantic sturgeon are measured, passive integrated transponder tagged, tissue sampled, and released. Subsets of captured Atlantic sturgeon are fitted with internal satellite tags or external pop-off satellite tags; sampling also includes gonad tissue biopsy. The applicant now requests authorization for 100 annual shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) takes for the remainder of the permit; all capture methods, action areas and activities would remain the same as for the currently authorized Atlantic sturgeon takes. The authorization to sample an additional sturgeon species would allow the permit holder to test use of a hydroacoustic assessment method for shortnose sturgeon which is currently authorized for Atlantic sturgeon.

Download or read book Supplemental Environmental Assessment for Issuance of Modifications to Scientific Research Permits Nos 1578 00 and 1595 03 to Conduct Scientific Research on Protected Shortnose Sturgeon in the Gulf of Maine written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Office of Protected Resources, proposes to issue modifications to two scientific research permits for takes of shortnose sturgeon in the wild, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (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). The Permit modifications addressed in this SEA are for Permit No. 1578-00 issued to the Maine Division of Marine Resources (MDMR) in 2006, and Permit No. 1595-03 issued to Michael Hastings of the University of Maine (UM) in 2009. This SEA, therefore, supplements the prior respective EA and SEA, and all other minor permit modifications. Permit No. 1578 currently authorizes research focusing on the location of spawning habitat, feeding habitat, and migratory pathways of shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) in the Kennebec River, between Augusta and Waterville, Maine. The proposed modification (File 1578-01) would change research objectives, as well as expand the geographic scope of the research, increasing numbers of sturgeon sampled, acoustic tags deployed, and new research methods including: borescoping, Floy anchor tagging, blood collection, gastric lavage, electronarcosis and scute sampling. Permit 1595-03 currently assesses the distribution, abundance, movements and spawning of shortnose sturgeon in the lower Penobscot River and Estuary. The objectives and action area of research would not be changed in the proposed modification (File 1595-04); however, it proposes increased numbers of sturgeon captured, lower water temperatures for sampling adults and juvenile sturgeon, and new research methods including: scute sampling, Floy anchor tagging, fall egg and larvae sampling, electronarcosis and gastric lavage. Both permit modifications would assist researchers in the future development of collaborative research programs in the Gulf of Maine (GOM) determining the number and size of extant populations of shortnose sturgeon in the GOM and the rate of exchange between coastal river systems"--Abstract (p. [1]-2).

This book was released on 2010 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue a scientific research pennit (File No. 14759) to Joseph Hightower, Ph. D. (North Carolina Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695), to take shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) in the wild for purposes of scientific research pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The applicant is seeking a five-year scientific research permit assessing the presence, abundance, and distribution of shortnose sturgeon within North Carolina river basins (Chowan, Roanoke, and Cape Fear and estuaries) and Albemarle Sound using non-lethal sampling methods. The researcher proposes to combine hydroacoustic surveys (using side-scan and DIDSON sonar) and gill nets, to annually capture, measure, weigh, genetic tissue sample, PIT tag and Floy tag up to 15 shortnose sturgeon annually from the Chowan and Cape Fear River Basins and Albemarle Sound. He also proposes similar activity capturing up to 25 shortnose sturgeon annually from the Roanoke River Basin. A sub-set of up to five sub-adults or adults from each river basin and Albemarle Sound would be anesthetized and implanted with internal sonic transmitters each year. Manual tracking and passive detections of telemetered fish at fixed receiver stations would provide infonnation about movement, seasonal distribution and habitat use"--Abstract (p. [1]).
