Participants in the course will learn about
policies that impact imperiled aquatic species restoration or recovery
plans. The Ecosystem Approach to management plans with habitat analysis
will be discussed. The course covers State and Federal requirements for
permits, including collection permits, and advantages of establishing applied
and experimental research of imperiled species. Best Laboratory Practices
for disease prevention and genetic issues will be presented during the
course. The role of propagation of imperiled species and its importance
to habitat requirements and life history information will be described
using case studies following established recovery plans. Habitat requirements
necessary for specific refugia system design of aquatic species will be presented.
Who Should Attend: Fishery
Biologists, Managers and Assistants, and Wildlife Biologists involved with
the recovery and/or restoration planning and implementation of Species
of Concern, Candidate, Threatened, and Endangered aquatic species.
Length: 5days/36 hours
Objectives: By the end of this session, the participant will be able to:
- Discuss
Endangered Species Act and Sec 7 as related to management, recovery, propagation,
and contingency plans;
- Review the AFS publication "Considerations
for the use of Propagated Fishes in Resource Management" and the draft
document "Controlled Propagation of Imperiled Fish Species";
- List the processes of Federal, State, Tribal,
and International permitting for collecting species;
- Describe the components of state and federal
permits;
- Evaluate the link between recovery plans
population goals and the habitat required to protect, access, or restore
a species;
- Develop an escapement/isolation plan for
captive populations;
- Discuss the factors associated with system
design for captive populations;
- Explain the health policies as they relate
to imperiled species;
- Discuss the components of genetic plans;
and
- Compare and contrast restoration and recovery
of imperiled aquatic species using case studies.
