SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is held to review proposed 
methods for calculating the recreational ACL of FLK/EFL Hogfish in 
numbers of fish. The Council stated at their September 2015 meeting in 
Hilton Head, SC that they would like the recreational ACL for the FLK/
EFL stock of Hogfish to be set in numbers rather than in pounds. Items 
to be addressed during this meeting:
    Review and comment on the risks and uncertainties associated with 
proposed methods for calculating the recreational ACL of the FLK/EFL 
Hogfish stock in numbers. The SSC will provide recommendations for 
Council consideration as appropriate.
