SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the SSC Groundfish
Subcommittee's meeting is to update accepted practices guidelines for
conducting groundfish stock assessments. The meeting will also contain
presentations on two associated topics: (a) use of remotely operated
vehicle data in stock assessments and (b) results of a literature
review of methods addressing large area closures within stock
assessments. Recommendations of SSC Groundfish Subcommittee members
will inform the Accepted Practices Guidelines for Stock Assessments in
2025 and 2026 document, which is a compilation of guidelines for
groundfish stock assessment scientists. An updated version of the
Accepted Practices Guidelines for Stock Assessments in 2025 and 2026
document will be available and posted shortly after this meeting for
stock assessment scientists and provided to the full SSC and the
Pacific Council in March 2025. Representatives of the Pacific Council's
Groundfish Management Team and the Groundfish Advisory Subpanel will
also participate in the meeting as advisers.
No management actions will be decided by the SSC Groundfish
Subcommittee. The SSC Groundfish Subcommittee members' role will be
development of recommendations for consideration by U.S. West Coast
groundfish stock assessment scientists.
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
