SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permit is requested 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 222–226). 

The proposed action would be 

issuance of an enhancement and 

scientific research permit (File No. 

1604) to the FWS (Dr. Chester Figiel, 

Principal Investigator), pursuant to the 

ESA. The primary objective would be to 

utilize the available captive brood stock 

population to provide information 

needed for implementation of recovery 

efforts, as described in the ‘‘Final 

Recovery Plan for the Shortnose 

Sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum)’’

(NMFS, 1998). Captive fish would be 

maintained, conditioned, spawned and 

the gametes and progeny used for 

scientific studies, such as cryopreservation, genetics, culture 

techniques, behavioral studies, 

nutrition, and tagging techniques. An 

additional study characterizing the wild 

genetic strains of sturgeon in rivers of 

the Southeast Atlantic coast would be 

accomplished using tissue samples 

archived at the NOAA/NOS Laboratory 

in Charleston, South Carolina. The 

permit is requested for five years.
