The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council will convene its Standing and Special Reef Fish Scientific and Statistical Committee December 13-15, 2010, in Tampa, Florida. Every attempt will be made to broadcast the meeting over the Internet.
The Committee will meet to review several issues related to development of the generic annual catch limit/accountability measures amendment. These issues include a review of the latest version of the draft acceptable biological catch control rule, as well as a discussion on the use of judgment calls and mean catch to define the overfishing limit when setting acceptable biological catch for *data poor* species.
The Committee will also review the use of in-season accountability measures and proposed revisions to species groupings to be used in setting annual catch limits. Finally, the Committee will develop recommendations for acceptable biological catch and potential overfishing limits **for all stocks **in the generic annual catch limit/accountability measures amendment.
The meeting will be held at the Gulf Council office, 2203 N. Lois Avenue, Suite 1100, in Tampa, Florida. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 9:00 am Monday, concluding no later than 3:00 pm Wednesday.

Although other non-emergency issues not on the agenda may come before the committee, in accordance with the M-SFCMA, those issues may not be the subject of formal action during this meeting. Panel action will be restricted to those issues specifically identified in the agenda.

*data poor* means best guess?
**for all stocks ** means anything with fins by or near a reef and all pelics.
