36710 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 131 / Tuesday, July 13, 2021 / Notices 

• Evaluating and proposing new 

techniques to efficiently sample, 

process, and utilize different ageing 

structures (i.e., spines and otoliths) for 

gray triggerfish in the Gulf. 

• Clearly define how representative 

gray triggerfish samples will be obtained 

from various fleets (i.e., private 

recreational, for-hire, and commercial) 

and/or fishery-independent survey 

samples with the goal of constructing 

age-length keys from otolith-based ages. 

The proposal should include the 

methodology of the age validation work 

proposed with a clear rationale for that 

work, such as literature cited and the 

anticipated sample sizes of fish by age 

class (0–14 years). 

• Typically, the various Gulf state 

and federal creel and port samplers 

would be able to contribute to this work; 

however, otoliths are not currently 

taken at dockside intercepts under 

current sample collection protocols. 

Thus, proposal applicants are 

encouraged to develop work plans to 

collaborate with state and federal 

partners to collect representative 

samples across a range of age classes. 

• The proposal should include 

detailed methodology for extracting and 

processing otoliths and spines and a 

clear rationale for that scope, and the 

anticipated sample sizes of fish by age 

class. 

• Compare gray triggerfish ages from 

otoliths and spines to determine 

whether it is possible to develop an 

algorithm to convert spine-based ages to 

the more accurate otolith-based ages. 

Describe the variance about these 

estimates for the conversion algorithm 

as appropriate. 

• Proposals should provide 

information and rationale for the 

consideration of seasonal growth 

increment pattern validation. 

Results and outcomes from this work 

will be provided to the Council and 

National Marine Fisheries Southeast 

Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC).
