International Aquatic Animal Health Code

The International Aquatic Animal Health Code is a global set of guidelines created by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) to promote the health and safety of aquatic animals, such as fish, mollusks, and crustaceans. It establishes standards for preventing, detecting, and controlling diseases in aquaculture and wild populations. By following these guidelines, countries can protect aquatic animal health, ensure safe trade, and reduce the risk of disease spread across borders. The code helps promote sustainable aquatic industries and environmental conservation through international cooperation.
