{"abstract":"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is amending its regulations to add to the list of injurious fish the following freshwater fish species: Crucian carp (Carassius carassius), Eurasian minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus), Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio), roach (Rutilus rutilus), stone moroko (Pseudorasbora parva), Nile perch (Lates niloticus), Amur sleeper (Perccottus glenii), European perch (Perca fluviatilis), zander (Sander lucioperca), and wels catfish (Silurus glanis). In addition, the Service also amends its regulations to add the freshwater crayfish species common yabby (Cherax destructor) to the list of injurious crustaceans. These listings will prohibit the importation of any live animal, gamete, viable egg, or hybrid of these 10 fish and 1 crayfish into the United States, except as specifically authorized. These listings will also prohibit the interstate transportation of any live animal, gamete, viable egg, or hybrid of these 10 fish and 1 crayfish between States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or any territory or possession of the United States, except as specifically authorized. These species are injurious to the interests of agriculture or to wildlife or the wildlife resources of the United States, and the listing will prevent the purposeful or accidental introduction, establishment, and spread of these 10 fish and 1 crayfish into ecosystems of the United States.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","id":197,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/fish-and-wildlife-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/197","parent_id":253,"slug":"fish-and-wildlife-service"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2016/09/30/2016-22778.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":16,"title":50}],"citation":"81 FR 67862","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This rule is effective on October 31, 2016.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FWS-HQ-FAC-2013-0095","FXFR13360900000-167-FF09F14000"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2016-22778","effective_on":"2016-10-31","end_page":67899,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2016/09/30/2016-22778.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/09/30/2016-22778/injurious-wildlife-species-listing-10-freshwater-fish-and-1-crayfish","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2016-22778?publication_date=2016-09-30","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2016-09-30/2016-22778/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":38,"page_views":{"count":2181,"last_updated":"2026-09-23 02:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-09-30/pdf/2016-22778.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2016-22778.pdf?1475153124","publication_date":"2016-09-30","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2016/09/30/2016-22778.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"1018-AY69":{"issue":"201610","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1018-AY69/injurious-wildlife-species-listing-10-freshwater-fish-and-one-crayfish","title":"Injurious Wildlife Species;
