September 26, 2011 to September 30, 2011
The Pacific Fishery Management Council’s (Council) Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC) Groundfish Subcommittee will hold a work session which is open to the public.
The SSC Groundfish Subcommittee meeting will be held Monday, September 26, 2011, from 8:30 a.m. until business for the day is completed. The SSC Groundfish Subcommittee meeting will reconvene Tuesday, September 27 through Friday, September 30, from 8:30 a.m. until business for each day is completed.
The purpose of the SSC Groundfish Subcommittee meeting is to review new draft stock assessments for bocaccio and darkblotched rockfish, and possibly a new draft assessment for widow rockfish pending a decision by the SSC at their September 13-15 meeting in San Mateo, California. Further, the SSC Groundfish Subcommittee will review new draft rebuilding analyses and any other pertinent information for bocaccio, canary rockfish, darkblotched rockfish, Pacific ocean perch, widow rockfish, yelloweye rockfish, and petrale sole, work with the Stock Assessment Teams to make necessary revisions, and ultimately produce an SSC Groundfish Subcommittee report for use by the Council family and other interested persons. These new assessments and rebuilding analyses will be used to analyze 2013-14 harvest specifications and to develop or modify rebuilding plans for these species. No management actions will be decided by the SSC Groundfish Subcommittee. The Subcommittee’s task will be to develop recommendations for consideration by the SSC and Council at their November meeting in Costa Mesa, California. The SSC Groundfish Subcommittee will meet in Seattle, Washington at the following location:
