Advisory Panel.

DATES: The meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 27, 2017, from 9 a.m. 
to 12 p.m. For agenda details, see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

ADDRESSES:
    Meeting address: The meeting will be held via webinar with a

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher M. Moore, Ph.D., Executive

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of this meeting is for the

when reviewing (at future meetings in July), and if necessary revising, 
the current measures designed to achieve the recommended Atlantic 
Bluefish catch and landings limits for 2018. In addition, the MAFMC and 
ASMFC will consider input from the Advisory Panels in August when 
reviewing these specifications.
    Although other non-emergency issues not on the agenda may come 
before this group for discussion, those issues may not be the subject 
of formal action during this meeting. Actions will be restricted to 
those issues specifically listed in this notice and any issues arising 
after publication of this notice that require emergency action under
