Susceptible Species of Aquatic Animals

Reportable and immediately notifiable diseases are of significant importance to aquatic animal health and to the Canadian economy.


Susceptibility in aquatic species is determined if the infection can be demonstrated by natural occurrence of the disease in the species, or by experimental exposure of the species to the disease agent through a pathway that mimics a natural route of infection.


If you suspect or detect any of the reportable diseases in the animals that you own or work with, you are required by law to immediately contact the CFIA.


Only laboratories are required to notify the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) upon suspicion or detection of immediately notifiable diseases.

  • Species: Carassius auratus
  • Diseases of Concern: Infectious pancreatic necrosis, Spring viraemia of carp, Epizootic ulcerative syndrome (Aphanomyces invadans), Koi herpesvirus disease

 

Imports of susceptible aquatic animals require an Aquatic Animal Health Import Permit for entry into Canada. Import permits contain specific requirements based on the disease risks associated with the aquatic animal, the origin, the commodity type, the end use of the aquatic animals in Canada and other relevant health information.


Imported susceptible aquatic animals may also require export health certification or other documentation from the country of origin to ensure that the aquatic animals imported into Canada meet Canadian aquatic animal health requirements. Additional documentation requirements are outlined in the Automated Import Reference System (AIRS). Due to rapid changes in the health status of foreign trade partners, the CFIA NAAHP recommends that importers refer to AIRS to determine the most up to date import requirements.
