Taxonomic name update in AIRS and Form 5670 for Pacific Turbot

(Le français suit)

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has made an update to the Automated Import Reference System (AIRS) and the application for permit to import aquatic animals and/or their offal (CFIA/ACIA 5670) to update the taxonomic name for Pacific Turbot. Previously, Pacific Turbot could be found using the taxonomic name Psetta maxima. This is a synonym and, as such, Pacific Turbot can now be found using the internationally accepted valid taxonomic name Scophthalmus maximus. Import requirements can be found in AIRS.


Mise à jour du nom taxonomique dans le SARI et le formulaire 5670 pour le turbot du Pacifique

L’Agence canadienne d’inspection des aliments (ACIA) a mis à jour le Système automatisé de référence à l'importation (SARI) et la demande de permis importer des animaux aquatiques et/ou leurs abats (formulaire CFIA/ACIA 5670) afin de mettre à jour le nom taxonomique du turbot du Pacifique. Auparavant, on pouvait trouver le turbot du Pacifique en utilisant le nom taxonomique Psetta maxima. C’est un synonyme et, en tant que tel, le turbot du Pacifique peut maintenant être trouvé en utilisant le nom taxonomique valide internationalement accepté Scophthalmus maximus. Il est possible de consulter les exigences d’importation dans le SARI.
