    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    During this meeting, the SSC will provide revised Acceptable Biological Catch (ABC) recommendations for the 2025 Spiny Dogfish fishing year. At their October 2024 meeting, the Council reviewed the stock status and performance of the Spiny Dogfish fishery and deferred action on modifying 2025 Spiny Dogfish specifications until their December meeting. The Council requested the SSC calculate a revised ABC equal to the catch associated with a 50% probability of overfishing under a suspension of the Council's risk policy. The SSC may take up any other business as necessary.

    A detailed agenda and background documents will be made available on the Council's website ( www.mafmc.org ) prior to the meeting.
