Synopsis (short abstract) The FAO Ad Hoc Expert Advisory Panel for the Assessment of Proposals to Amend Appendices I and II of CITES Concerning Commercially-exploited Aquatic Species was held at FAO headquarters from 26 to 30 March 2007. The Panel was convened in response to the agreement by the Twenty-fifth Session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) on the Terms of Reference for an ad hoc expert advisory panel for assessment of proposals to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), and to the endorsement of the Twenty-sixth Session of COFI to convene the Panel for relevant proposals to future CITES Conference of the Parties. The objective of the Panel was to: - assess each proposal from a scientific perspective in accordance with the CITES biological listing criteria (Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev.
