GB lists of susceptible and possible vector species for aquatic animal diseases |
| Summary |
GB's lists of aquatic animal species that are susceptible to, or act as vectors for, aquatic animal diseases species are being updated to incorporate species that are listed in the relevant disease chapters of the WOAH Aquatic Animal Health Code as susceptible and vector species.
The relevant aquatic animal diseases are listed in:
a. Commission Regulation (EC) 1251/2008 of 12 December 2008 implementing Council Directive 2006/88/EC as regards conditions and certification requirements for the placing on the market and the import into the Community of aquaculture animals and products thereof and laying down a list of vector species (Assimilated law under the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023); and
b. The Aquatic Animal Health (England and Wales) Regulations 2009, and the Aquatic Animal Health (Scotland) Regulations 2009. The revised lists can be found here: Importing or moving live fish and shellfish - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). A shortened implementation period is necessary to secure UK's biosecurity.
