The Committee's report welcomes the attention given by the World Summit on Sustainable Development 2002 to fisheries issues and provides guidance on the responsible fisheries management goals. It recommends the establishment of a working party on small-scale marine fisheries to develop a draft research agenda and evaluate its role and significance, and identifies human capacity building as a key cross-cutting issue.
The Advisory Committee held its sixth session in Rome, Italy in October 2006 and topics discussed included: a review of the work of the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department with a focus on fish trade, small-scale fisheries and aquaculture; and support for the work of FAO in aquaculture, particularly the timely inclusion of fish species in the Programme of Work of the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture.
The Committee agreed to establish a Sub-Committee on Aquaculture and adopted the International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IPOA-IUU) Fishing. It agreed that future reporting on the implementation of the Code of Conduct and related IPOAs should be based on in-depth analysis of problems associated with their efficient implementation, using case studies.
The Committee reviewed the work carried out during the 2016-2017 intersession and addressed the mid-term strategy towards the sustainability of Mediterranean and Black Sea fisheries. It provided advice on data collection and quality indicators.

The session agreed on a vision statement and on a characterization of small-scale fisheries as well as on a research agenda of five main themes. It elaborated preliminary drafts of two separate technical documents on the contribution, role and importance of small-scale fisheries and research agenda for small-scale fisheries and requested that the documents be submitted, after finalization by the Secretariat, to the ACFR at its next session
