What WOAH Aquatic Animal Health Code requires

The WOAH Aquatic Animal Health Code complements the Terrestrial Code by setting global standards for the prevention, detection, and control of diseases of fish, molluscs, crustaceans, and amphibians, and for safe international trade in aquatic animals and their products. The Aquatic Code is recognised by the WTO SPS Agreement as the international benchmark for aquatic animal health measures. It covers horizontal standards on risk analysis, surveillance, and certification, and disease-specific chapters for currently listed aquatic diseases including infectious hematopoietic necrosis, white spot syndrome virus, infectious salmon anemia, koi herpesvirus disease, abalone viral ganglioneuritis, and ostreid herpesvirus. Aquaculture compliance is increasingly important given global trade growth and the spread of pathogens via live animal and frozen/chilled product movements.
