Part 5 – Additional Information

1. Complete all sections of this form. Attach additional sheets as necessary. Incomplete or illegible forms will be returned.

2. NOAA Fisheries may deny or modify a request for broodstock collection if allowable methods or gears are not proposed for use, the number of fish harvested for broodstock is more than necessary for purposes of spawning and rearing activities, or other grounds inconsistent with the Fishery Management Plan for Regulating Offshore Marine Aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico objectives or other federal laws. If a broodstock collection request is denied or modified, NOAA Fisheries shall provide the determination and the basis for it, in writing to the permittee.

3. If a broodstock collection request is approved, the permittee must submit a Broodstock Post-Harvest Report including the number and species of broodstock harvested, their size (length and weight), and the geographic location where the broodstock were captured. The report must be received by NOAA Fisheries no later than 15 days after the date of harvest. The Broodstock Post-Harvest Report form can be accessed at: http://sero.nmfs.noaa.gov/sustainable_fisheries/gulf_fisheries/aquaculture/.

4. All proposed harvest of broodstock from state waters must also comply with all state laws applicable to the harvest of such species.
