Roanoke Logperch Delisted; Protections End
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has removed the Roanoke logperch (Percina rex) from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife because its threats have been eliminated or reduced. As a result, the prohibitions and conservation measures under the Endangered Species Act, particularly sections 7 and 9, will no longer apply to this species, and the agency says there are no new costs or deadlines for the public.
