N.J. Admin. Code § 7:25-4.17
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024
The following table sets forth the list and conservation status of nongame wildlife species indigenous to New Jersey in their respective taxonomic classes. For the vertebrate classes of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, the list is intended to include all indigenous nongame species, that is, all species for which a legal hunting or trapping season has not been established or that have not been classified as an endangered species and that are native to the eastern United States and regularly and predictably occur within the State or its waters. Freshwater and marine fish are not included on this list because none are currently considered "nongame." For the invertebrate classes, the list includes only those species for which the Department has determined that their status is either "threatened" or "special concern." The list is ordered alphabetically by species' common names within each taxonomic class.
