Description:

"The proposed action is issuance of 12 scientific research permits that would authorize research activities on Atlantic sturgeon. These activities would include capture, morphometric measurements, photography, collection of tissue, blood, and fin ray samples, use of external identification and passive integrated transponder tags, external tag telemetry attachment, internal telemetry tag implantation, anesthetizing, laproscopic and boroscopic procedures, gastric lavage, biopsy sample collection and the directed mortality of eggs and larvae. A limited number of unintentional mortalities would be authorized. This research would create a better understanding of sturgeon movements and habitat utilization, spawning, population demographics, genetic structure, foraging behavior, and threats posed by anthropogenic impacts. Specific objectives for each permit vary, but all would continue long-term research. Impacts from these activities would be short-term and minimal to individual animals and negligible to the species. A biological opinion concluded that the proposed action would not likely jeopardize the continued existence of the species and would not likely destroy or adversely modify designated critical habitat. The permits would be valid for five years"--Cover letter; Portfolio comprised of three related PDF documents digitized and organized by: NOAA Office of Program Planning and Integration (PPI) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) staff.
