AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), NOAA, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of receipt of application for a scientific research
permit (P560).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice is hereby given that Oregon State University (OSU) has
applied in due form for a permit to take listed species as authorized
by the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) and the
NMFS regulations governing listed fish and wildlife permits (50 CFR
parts 217-227).
OSU requests authorization to take adult and juvenile Snake River
spring/summer chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in order to
investigate the potential effects of climate change on thermal
complexity and biotic integrity of streams. Emphasis will be placed on
the seasonal intrusion of non-native coolwater and warmwater fish
species into the historic habitats of native salmonids, including Snake
River spring/summer chinook salmon.
OSU proposes to capture, handle, release, and snorkel near juvenile
Snake River spring/summer chinook salmon. Adult Snake River spring/
summer chinook salmon would possibly be disturbed during these
activities. OSU requests authorization for this research through
September 30, 1995.
