Special-status fish species addressed in this section include: <br /> ► species listed as threatened or endangered under the state or federal Endangered Species Acts(ESAs); <br /> ► species identified by U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS),National Oceanic and Atmospheric <br /> Administration,National Marine Fisheries Service(NMFS), or California Department of Fish and Game <br /> (DFG) as species of special concern; and <br /> ► species fully protected in California under the California Fish and Game Code. <br /> A total of ten special-status fish species occur or have the potential to occur in the San Joaquin River in the <br /> vicinity of the project site and are described below(Table 4.13-2). Of the ten species, Central Valley steelhead <br /> Evolutionarily Significant Unit(ESU), Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon ESU, Sacramento River <br /> winter-run ESU,green sturgeon, and delta smelt are listed as a federally threatened or endangered species. The <br /> USFWS de-listed Sacramento splittail from its federally threatened status on September 22,2003.NMFS <br /> determined that listing is not warranted for Central Valley fall-/late fall-run Chinook salmon; however,it is still <br /> designated as a Species of Concern because of concerns over specific risk factors. The four remaining species <br /> (i.e., longfin smelt [Spirinchus thaleichthys], San Joaquin roach [Lavinia symmetricus sp.], and hardhead <br /> [Mylopharodon conocephalus]) are considered Species of Special Concern by DFG and/or federal Species of <br /> Concern by USFWS. <br /> Table 4.13-2 <br /> Special-status Fish Species Potentially Occurring in the Lower San Joaquin River <br /> Status <br /> Species USFWSI Habitat Potential to Occur in the lower San <br /> NMFS DFG Joaquin River <br /> Central Valley T -- Requires cold,freshwater streams with Occurs in the Sacramento and San <br /> steelhead suitable gravel for spawning;rears Joaquin rivers,tributaries,and Delta. <br /> Oncorhyncus mykiss seasonally in inundated floodplains,rivers, Occurs seasonally in the San Joaquin <br /> tributaries,and Delta.
