  • RELATIVE ABUNDANCE of SPINEY SOFTSHELL TURTLES (Apalone Spinifera) on the MISSOURI and YELLOWSTONE RIVERS in MONTANA FINAL REPOR
    RELATIVE ABUNDANCE OF SPINEY SOFTSHELL TURTLES (Apalone spinifera) ON THE MISSOURI AND YELLOWSTONE RIVERS IN MONTANA FINAL REPORT Arnold R. Dood, Brad Schmitz, Vic Riggs, Nate McClenning, Matt Jeager, Dave Fuller, Ryan Rauscher, Steve Leathe, Dave Moore, JoAnn Dullum, John Ensign, Scott Story, Mike Backes Abstract In 2003, the Missouri River Natural Resources Committee (MRNRC) Wildlife Section advocated developing a survey for the relative abundance of softshell turtles (Apalone sp.) on the Missouri River system. Softshell turtles were selected because they occur throughout the system and there was some information suggesting that they may have been impacted by system operations. As a common riverine species, there were possibilities that softshell turtles may have been impacted because of the timing, level, and temperature of river flows as well as by dam construction and bank stabilization. In addition, there were reports from other areas in the species range that they may be especially sensitive to human disturbance. From 2004 through 2008, State and Federal agencies and Pacific Power and Light in Montana sampled the Missouri River from Great Falls, MT, to the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone (except Fort Peck Reservoir) as well as they Yellowstone River from above Billings to the confluence. Sampling consisted of setting turtle traps every two river miles and checking for three days. Turtles captured were measured, marked, and released. Results of the sampling efforts indicated high relative densities above Fort Peck Reservoir and variable densities on the Yellowstone. No spiny softshells were found below Fort Peck or on the Yellowstone below Sidney, MT. Possible reasons are presented and recommendations for future program direction as well as potential system modifications to benefit this species are discussed.

Spiroxys amydae (80%), Cephalogonimiis vesicaudus (80%), Vasotrema robiistum (76%), and Proteocephalus sp. (63%) were the most prevalent helminths. Significant lesions were associated with the at- tachment sites of Spiroxys amydae in the stomach wall. Contracaecum multipapillatum and Polymorphus brevis are reported for the first time in reptiles. The pentastomid Alofia sp. is reported for the first time in North America and in turtles.

ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are listing the common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina), Florida softshell turtle (Apalone ferox), smooth softshell turtle (Apalone mutica), and spiny softshell turtle (Apalone spinifera) in Appendix 1 III of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES or Convention), including live and dead whole specimens, and all readily recognizable parts, products, and derivatives. Listing these four native U.S. freshwater turtle species (including their subspecies, except Apalone spinifera atra, which is already included in Appendix I of CITES) in Appendix III of CITES is necessary to allow us to adequately monitor international trade in these species; to determine whether exports are occurring legally, with respect to State and Federal law; and to determine whether further measures under CITES or other laws are required to conserve these species and their subspecies.

  • South Carolina Limits Number of Turtles Harvested in the State
    February 17, 2009 (SC HB 3121) SOUTH CAROLINA LIMITS NUMBER OF TURTLES HARVESTED IN THE STATE ** COMMITTEE HEARING ON FEBRUARY 18TH ** The Issue. South Carolina House Bill 3121 prohibits removing more than ten turtles of certain species from the State. Any person who removes or attempts to remove more than ten of the named species will be guilty of a misdemeanor. The taxonomic name of Yellowbelly turtles should be Trachemys scripta scripta to avoid problems involving Red eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans). The Impact. This bill makes it unlawful for a person to remove, or attempt to remove, more than ten, either in one species or a combination of species, of the following species of turtles: • Yellowbelly turtle (Trachemys scripta); • Florida cooter (Pseudemys floridana); • River cooter (Pseudemys concinna); • Chicken turtle (Deirochelys reticularia); • Eastern painted turtle (Chrysemys picta); • Spiny softshell turtle (Apalone spinifera); • Florida softshell turtle (Apalone ferox); and • Common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentine). Violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor and, if convicted, a person must pay a $200 fine, with each turtle removed or attempted to be removed being a separate offense. NOTE: This legislation “does not prohibit the sale, offer for sale, or purchase of the Yellowbelly turtle (Trachemys scripta) species and the common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentine) species if these turtles were taken from a permitted aquaculture facility. However, a person selling, offering to sell, or purchasing these species must have documentation from the aquaculture facility as to the origin of the turtles.” Recommended Action. Limiting the number of these turtle species from in-state harvest could be detrimental to your business, therefore, we wanted to make you aware of this legislation so you can take action if warranted.
