The conservation, sustainable use and development of aquatic genetic resources (AqGR) is critical to the future supply of fish. The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture is the first ever global assessment of these resources, with the scope of this first Report being limited to cultured AqGR and their wild relatives, within national jurisdiction. The Report draws on 92 reports from FAO member countries and five specially commissioned thematic background studies. The reporting countries are responsible for 96 percent of global aquaculture production. The Report sets the context with a review of the state of world’s aquaculture and fisheries and includes overviews of the uses and exchanges of AqGR, the drivers and trends impacting AqGR and the extent of ex situ and in situ conservation efforts. The Report also investigates the roles of stakeholders in AqGR and the levels of activity in research, education, training and extension, and reviews national policies and the levels of regional and international cooperation on AqGR. Finally, needs and challenges are assessed in the context of the findings from the data collected from the countries. The Report represents a snapshot of the present status of AqGR and forms a valuable technical reference document, particularly where it presents standardized key terminology and concepts.

This report summarizes the proceedings and outcomes of the “Regional Workshop for Asia and the Pacific on the Development of a Global Information System for Farmed Types of Aquatic Genetic Resources (incorporating a review of strategic priorities for a Global Plan of Action)” held from 8 to 12 June 2020. The final wrap-up session was held on 22 June 2020. This workshop, supported financially by the Government of Germany, was the second in a series of regional workshops held to generate feedback on the Registry of Farmed Types of Aquatic Genetic Resources (Registry) being developed by FAO in response to the findings of the first report on The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (SoW-AqGR) prepared under the guidance of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Commission) and launched by FAO in 2019. As requested by the Commission, the workshop also sought feedback on an outline of a Global Plan of Action for Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (GPA. The workshop was originally planned to be held face to face in early 2020 but was eventually cancelled due to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic.

This workshop was the first of a series of regional meetings to generate feedback on the Registry of Farmed Types of Aquatic Genetic Resources (AqGR), being developed by FAO in response to a request from the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Commission). The workshop was supported by a grant from the Government of Germany and also included an activity seeking feedback on an outline of a Global Plan of Action for AqGR, also requested by the Commission. The objectives of the workshop were to: promote standardized use of nomenclature and terminology in the descriptions and categorization of AqGR, especially below the level of species (i.e. farmed types); to identify the priority regional stakeholders in an information system, specifically a Registry of Farmed Types of AqGR; to evaluate the key elements of the prototype Registry using regionally relevant species and their farmed types; review, for each of the four Priority Areas of the Global Plan of Action (GPA), the Strategic Priorities (SPs) and identifying possible activities under each SP; and identify potential indicators for the effective monitoring of AqGR within a future GPA.
