50 C.F.R. § 223.102

Current through September 30, 2024
Section 223.102 - Enumeration of threatened marine and anadromous species
(a) The table below identifies the species under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Commerce that have been determined to be threatened pursuant to section 4(a) of the Act, species treated as threatened because they are sufficiently similar in appearance to threatened species, and experimental populations of threatened species.
(b) The columns entitled "Common name," "Scientific name," and "Description of listed entity" define the species within the meaning of the Act. In the "Common name" column, experimental populations are identified as "XE" for essential populations or "XN" for nonessential populations. Species listed based on similarity of appearance are identified as "S/A." Although a column for "Common name" is included, common names cannot be relied upon for identification of any specimen, because they may vary greatly in local usage. The "Scientific name" column provides the most recently accepted scientific name, relying to the extent practicable on the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. In cases in which confusion might arise, a synonym(s) will be provided in parentheses. The "Description of listed entity" column identifies whether the listed entity comprises the entire species, a subspecies, or a distinct population segment (DPS) and provides a description for any DPSs. Unless otherwise indicated in the "Description of listed entity" column, all individual members of the listed entity and their progeny retain their listing status wherever found, including individuals in captivity. Information regarding the general range of the species, subspecies, or DPS may be found in the FEDERAL REGISTER notice(s) cited in the "Citation(s) for listing determination(s)" column.
(c) The "Citation(s) for listing determination(s)" column provides reference to the FEDERAL REGISTER notice(s) determining the species' status under the Act. The abbreviation "(SPR)" (significant portion of its range) after a citation indicates that the species was listed based on its status in a significant portion of its range. If a citation does not include the "(SPR)" notation, it means that the species was listed based on its status throughout its entire range. For "(SPR)" listings, a geographical description of the SPR may be found in the referenced FEDERAL REGISTER notice. The "(SPR)" notation serves an informational purpose only and does not imply any limitation on the application of the prohibitions or restrictions of the Act or implementing rules.
(d) The "Critical habitat" and "ESA rules" columns provide cross-references to other sections in this part and part 226. The term "NA" appearing in the "Critical habitat" column indicates that there are no critical habitat designations for that species; similarly, the term "NA" appearing in the "ESA rules" column indicates that there are no ESA rules for that species. However, all other applicable rules in parts 222 through 226 and part 402 still apply to that species. Also, there may be other rules in this title that relate to such wildlife. The "ESA rules" column is not intended to list all Federal, state, tribal, or local governmental regulations that may apply to the species.
(e) The threatened species under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Commerce are:
