The Second Session of the Committee on Fisheries (COFI) Sub-Committee on Aquaculture was held in Trondheim, Norway, from 7 to 11 August 2003 at the kind invitation of the Government of Norway. It was attended by 64 Members of FAO, by an observer from one non-Member Nation of FAO, by a representative from one specialized agency of the United Nations and by observers from six intergovernmental and international non-governmental organizations. The Sub-Committee appreciated the effort of FAO Fisheries Department in responding to the recommendations of the First Session of the Sub-Committee. Several working documents were presented by the Secretariat for discussion and decision by the Sub-Committee. A number of emerging issues and related areas of work were also discussed. The Sub-Committee requested the Secretariat to ensure implementation of priority activities during the intersessional period. Recognizing the constraints in the Regular Programme budget of the FAO Fisheries Department, the Sub-Committee recommended that additional resources should be sought within the Regular Programme or through extrabudgetary resources to undertake aquaculture activities. The Sub-Committee agreed that its next session should be held in 2006 and appreciated the offer of the Government of India to host the event.
