National Aquatic Animal Health Program

The National Aquatic Animal Health Program is a government initiative aimed at maintaining the health and safety of aquatic animals, like fish and shellfish, across the country. It involves monitoring, preventing, and controlling diseases and parasites that could threaten aquatic life, the environment, and the seafood industry. The program ensures that aquatic animals are raised, transported, and sold under safe and healthy conditions, promoting sustainable fisheries and protecting ecosystems. By implementing testing, inspections, and best practices, the program helps safeguard public health and supports economic stability in sectors reliant on aquatic animals.
