Aquatic Animal Health Susceptible Species of Aquatic Animals

Please be advised that the CFIA is updating the Susceptible Species of Aquatic Animals and Associated Diseases of Concern web page in order to maintain consistency with international obligations and further prevent aquatic animal disease introduction to safeguard Canada's aquatic animals.

Please find the updated list of Susceptible Species of Aquatic Animals and Associated Diseases of Concern on the link below:
http://www.inspection.gc.ca/animals/aquatic-animals/diseases/susceptible-species/eng/1327162574928/1327162766981

This will change importing requirements for some species of aquatic animals as they have either been added or removed from the list.    

Import permits are required for all susceptible species of finfish, molluscs, and crustaceans.  These animals must meet the import requirements to enter Canada. Prior to importing aquatic animals, importers should always determine the requirements in AIRS.
