Book excerpt: This report summarizes the proceedings and outcomes of the Expert Workshop on “Incorporating information on wild relatives of aquaculture species into an information system for aquatic genetic resources” held from 2 to 3 August 2022. The workshop aimed to discuss the expansion of the FAO Aquatic Genetic Resources Information System (AquaGRIS) in order to also include information on wild relatives (i.e. wild stocks) of aquaculture species. AquaGRIS, the system being developed by the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Division, will help countries and stakeholders to inventory national aquatic genetic resources (AqGR) used for aquaculture and monitor the status of their management.
