SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The purpose of the SSC Groundfish Subcommittee meeting is to review proposed length-based assessment methods. This is a follow-up review of stock synthesis with catch and length (SS-CL) and SS-CL with indices (SS-CL-Index) methods proposed by the NMFS Northwest Fisheries Science Center that occurred on May 12-14, 2020. The SSC recommended this review (see https://www.pcouncil.org/documents/2020/09/agenda-item-d-4-a-supplemental-ssc-report-1-2.pdf/ ) at the November 2020 Pacific Council meeting to review several short-term tasks, detailed in section 6 of the May 12-14 Methods Review Panel report (see https://www.pcouncil.org/documents/2020/08/d-4-attachment-2-assessment-methodology-review-of-length-based-assessment-methods.pdf/ ).
No management actions will be decided by the SSC Groundfish Subcommittee. The SSC Groundfish Subcommittee members' role will be development of recommendations and reports for consideration by the SSC and Pacific Council at the virtual November meeting of the Pacific Council.
Although nonemergency issues not contained in the meeting agendas may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action during these meetings. Action will be restricted to those issues specifically listed in this notice and any issues arising after publication of this notice that require emergency action under Section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, provided the public has been notified of the intent of the SSC Groundfish Subcommittee to take final action to address the emergency.
