CDF (1061) requests a five-year permit

for takes of juvenile, threatened,

southern Oregon/northern California

coast coho salmon (Oncorhynchus

kisutch) associated with monitoring

projects in coastal streams within the

Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU).

The studies consist of coho salmon

distribution and abundance surveys for

which ESA-listed fish are proposed to

be taken. ESA-listed fish will be

captured, anesthetized, handled

(identified and measured), allowed to

recover from the anesthetic, and

released. ESA-listed salmon indirect

mortalities associated with the research

are also requested.

GPWI (1062) requests a five-year

permit for takes of juvenile, threatened,

southern Oregon/northern California

coast coho salmon (Oncorhynchus

kisutch) associated with fish population

salmon distribution and abundance

surveys for which ESA-listed fish are

proposed to be taken. ESA-listed fish

will be captured, anesthetized, handled

(identified and measured), allowed to

recover from the anesthetic, and

released. ESA-listed salmon indirect

mortalities associated with the research

are also requested.

ENTRIX (1085) requests a five-year

permit for takes of adult and juvenile,

threatened, southern Oregon/northern

California coast coho salmon
