This document discusses the calculation of acceptable biological catches (ABCs) for tier 3 Gulf of Mexico reef fish species using historical landings data. It notes that recreational landings estimates have been recalculated using MRIP data from 2004-2011, which are considered the best available scientific data. ABCs are recalculated based on these MRIP data for several species and species groups, including shallow-water grouper, deep-water grouper, tilefishes, jacks, and mid-water snapper. Changes to the ABCs are expected to minimally impact recreational fishing but could affect allowable commercial harvest.
