On 21-22 September 2005, the WorldFish Center in collaboration with the China Academy of Fishery Sciences organized the international "Workshop on dissemination of improved fish strains: Country-specific action plans" in Shanghai, China. Proceedings (120 pages) of the workshop are now available, edited by R.W. Ponzoni, B.O. Acosta and A.G. Ponniah, entitled "Development of aquatic animal genetic improvement and dissemination programs: current status and action plans". They are split into two PDF files on the web: the first containing papers presented at the workshop, including one on potential applications of reproductive and molecular genetic technologies, and the second (page 51 onwards) providing a synopsis of small working group discussions.
