Synopsis (short abstract) The International Expert Workshop on Improving the Information Base for Aquatic Genetic Resources for The State of The World's Aquatic Genetic Resources was convened by FAO in collaboration with the Spanish Aquaculture Observatory Foundation (FOESA) from 1-4 March 2011 in Madrid, Spain. The worskshop was attended by international aquatic genetic resources database experts, representatives of regional aquaculture and fisheries bodies and networks, the consultants responsible for the preparation of the background papers presented at the event, and representatives of international organizations involved in the topic. The main objectives of the workshop were to discuss and to review two background papers that are part of the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department's work with the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, which in 2007 included aquatic genetic resources into its Multi-Year Programme of Work.

In 2007, the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Commission) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) included the preparation of the report on The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Report) into its Multi-Year Programme of Work. The Commission later determined that the scope of the Report be “farmed aquatic species and their wild relatives within national jurisdiction”. Following a country-driven process, the Fisheries and Aquaculture Department prepared a draft Report for review by the Commission, its Ad Hoc Intergovernmental Technical Working Group on Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and FAO’s Committee on Fisheries (COFI). COFI also consulted its Sub-Committee on Aquaculture and its Advisory Working Group on Aquatic Genetic Resources and Technologies.
