Who should use the biosecurity guidelines?
Licensees of farms who keep, rear, breed, or board fish and shellfish for commercial food production should adopt the biosecurity guidelines.
Why do aquaculture farms need biosecurity measures?
Diseases affect the survival and growth rate of fish. Biosecurity measures help to minimise production losses caused by diseases and reduce the need for treatments.
It is important for each farm to take precautions against the introduction and spread of diseases within the farm, and to other farms.
