(808)522-8220. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NMFS Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) is developing a benchmark stock assessment for the bottomfish management unit species
(BMUS)in the U.S. territory of Guam. Consistent with National Standard 2 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the WPSAR Policy requires a review of the data, on an as-needed basis, that will be used in the benchmark stock assessment. The peer-review of the data will provide the analyst with the guidance on the utility and limitations of the available data for use in the assessment. This review is necessary to determine what modeling framework can be applied to the data moving towards the next benchmark.
