governing the taking, importing, and 

exporting of endangered and threatened 

species (50 CFR parts 222–226). 

The applicant is authorized to 

conduct a five-year scientific study 

determining biological and life history 

information on shortnose sturgeon in 

Connecticut waters, including the 

Connecticut, Thames, and Housatonic 

Rivers. The permit authorizes non-lethal 

sampling with anchored gill nets and 

trawls, capturing up to 500 fish 

annually. Each fish will be captured, 

weighed, measured, passive integrated 

transponder tagged, and sampled for 

genetic tissue analysis. Of those 500 

fish, 225 will also have a fin ray clipped 

for ageing analysis, and 100 will 

undergo gastric lavage. A sub-set of 25 

fish will be acoustic tagged internally, 

released, and tracked, to determine 

seasonal movement and habitat 

selection. 

Issuance of this permit, as required by 

the ESA, was based on a finding that 

such permit: (1) Was applied for in good 

faith, (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of such endangered or 

threatened species, and (3) is consistent 

with the purposes and policies set forth 

in section 2 of the ESA.
