LIST OF COVERED SPECIES Sample Clauses

LIST OF COVERED SPECIES. This Agreement covers the following Federally listed species: Lahontan cutthroat trout (Oncorynchus clarki henshawi) (Threatened). Lahontan cutthroat trout (Oncorhyncus clarki henshawi) is the only salmonid native to the Lahontan basin. LCT was once distributed throughout the basin and drainages of ancient Lake Lahontan but currently within the Northwest Distinct Population Segment are forced to survive as small populations in the isolated headwaters of streams in many mountain ranges in Nevada and Oregon. Settlement of the Great Basin resulted in the loss of LCT habitat as livestock grazing, urban and mining development, water diversions, hybridization, and competition with non-native trout led to significant declines in the range and numbers of this unique trout species. In response to these declines, Lahontan cutthroat trout was listed as endangered in 1970 and reclassified as threatened in 1975. In January of 1995, the Service issued the recovery plan for the Lahontan cutthroat trout, which was followed by NDOW’s Quinn River/ Blackrock species management plan in 1999. Lahontan cutthroat trout were historically common in the Xxxxx River, Blackrock and Little Humboldt subbasins of the Humboldt River system. The Blackrock Drainage alone may have had as many as 46 streams occupied by LCT. Presently, LCT is thought to occupy only 15 percent of their historic stream habitat in the Xxxxx River and Blackrock drainages. The populations have suffered from habitat loss, hybridization with nonnative salmonids and recent extended periods of drought. Recovery actions in the Xxxxx River drainage are a number one priority item in the Service’s 1995 Lahontan Cutthroat Trout Recovery Plan. To facilitate recovery of LCT, the NWDPS team was formed in 1999. Members of the team are comprised of personnel from the Service, NDOW, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, and University of Nevada, Reno. Expanding on the themes identified in the 1995 Recovery Plan, the team has been working to restore habitat and networked populations based upon the results of recent research.

LIST OF COVERED SPECIES. This Agreement only covers the Lahontan cutthroat trout, which is a unique subspecies of the cutthroat trout complex endemic to the Lahontan basin of Nevada, Oregon and California. LCT was once distributed throughout the basin and drainages of ancient Lake Lahontan, but currently within the Humboldt DPS area are forced to survive as small populations in isolated headwaters of streams in many mountain ranges in Nevada. Settlement of the Great Basin resulted in the loss of LCT habitat as livestock grazing, urban and mining development, water diversions, hybridization, and competition with non­ native trout led to significant declines in the range and numbers of this unique trout species. In response to these declines, it was listed as an endangered species in 1970 by the Service and subsequently reclassified as a threatened species in 1975. The threatened designation allowed the Service to promulgate regulations which facilitate management actions and allow regulated angling. LCT were historically common in the subbasins constituting the Humboldt River system, occupying an estimated 2,210 miles of stream habitat (Coffin 1983). Presently, LCT are believed to occupy a total of 71 streams with approximately 179 miles of stream habitat (Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx 2005). Recovery actions in the Humboldt River drainage are a high priority in the Service's 1995 Lahontan Cutthroat Trout Recovery Plan (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1995). To facilitate recovery of LCT, the Humboldt DPS Team (Team) was formed in 1999. Members of the Team are comprised of personnel from the Service, NDOW, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, and University of Nevada, Reno. Expanding on the themes identified in the 1995 Recovery Plan, the Team has been working to restore habitat and networked populations based upon the results of recent research.

LIST OF COVERED SPECIES. This Agreement covers the following federally listed species, which is hereafter referred to as the “covered species”: Houston toad (endangered) Description In October 1970, the Houston toad was federally listed as an endangered species (35 FR 16047). Critical habitat was designated for this species in January 1978 (43 FR 4022). Houston toads are generally xxxxx and speckled, although individual coloration can vary considerably. The Houston toad’s underside is usually pale with small, dark spots. Males have dark throats, which appear bluish when distended. Adult Houston toads are 2 to 3.5 inches (5 to 9 centimeters) long and, like all toads, are covered with raised patches of skin that resemble warts (Xxxxx 1971). Although Houston toads are similar in appearance to the closely-related Gulf Coast toad (B. valliceps) and Xxxxxxxxx’x toad (B. woodhouseii), these species can be discerned by physical and genetic characteristics (Xxxxx 1971, Xxxxxx et al. 1984). Mitochondrial DNA sequence analysis indicates that the Houston toad is a unique evolutionary unit separate from the other species (Forstner and Xxxxx 2000). The Houston toad is endemic to east central Texas (Xxxxx 2000). Since the 1980s, the known range of the Houston toad included nine Texas counties (Xxxxxx et al. 1984, Yantis 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992). These included Austin, Bastrop, Burleson, Colorado, Lavaca, Xxx, Leon, Milam, and Xxxxxxxxx counties. However, rangewide audio surveys conducted from 2006 to 2008 have resulted in the detection of the species in only six counties (Forstner et al. 2007, Xx. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Texas State University – San Marcos, pers. comm. 2008). There is a high correlation between the occurrence of the Houston toad and outcrops of the Eocene Epoch Sparta Sand, Weches, Queen City Sand, Recklaw, and Carrizo Sand formations (Yantis 1991, Seal 1994, Forstner 2003). The Carrizo Sand and Reklaw formations give rise to deep xxxxx soils, such as the Patilo-Demona-Silstid and Xxxxxx-Xxxxx soils that are often found in toad habitat (Xxxxx et al. 1990, Forstner 2003).
