SUMMARY: The Groundfish 

Subcommittee of the Pacific Fishery 

Management Council’s (Pacific Council) 

Scientific and Statistical Committee 

(SSC) will convene an online meeting to 

review the suitability of fish age 

estimates developed using Fourier 

Transformed Near-Infrared 

Spectroscopy (FT–NIRS) for inclusion 

in groundfish stock assessments. The 

methodology review meeting is open to 

the public. 

DATES: The groundfish methodology 

review online meeting will be held 

Tuesday, October 1, 2024 and 

Wednesday October 2, 2024, daily from 

8 a.m. until noon (Pacific daylight time) 

or until business for the day has been 

completed. 

ADDRESSES: The groundfish 

methodology review will be conducted 

as an online meeting. Specific meeting 

information, including the agenda and 

directions on how to join the meeting 

and system requirements, will be 

provided in the workshop 

announcement on the Pacific Council’s

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of the groundfish methodology 

review meeting is aimed at evaluating 

FT–NIRS to provide a reliable 

alternative to traditional ageing. 

Proponents plan to explore and 

document the variability in estimated 

relationships between traditional age 

reads and spectral data across major 

categorical dimensions. In addition, the 

review may evaluate the effect that 

replacing large blocks of traditional ages 

in assessments with FT–NIRS ages has 

on important assessment metrics. 

Evaluation of the benefits of including 

additional variables and the costs/ 

implications for use of the age data in 

estimating other relationships, such as 

growth, will be explored, as time 

permits. This review is planned in 

preparation for the 2025 groundfish 

stock assessment cycle. The results of
