What Biosecurity Can Do For You

• Independent water source.
• Separate, sterilized equipment.
• Restricted access (only to defined personnel), and only after hand wash & change of footwear.
• Visitors restricted. No prior visits to other farms, complete change of clothing if necessary.
• No entry possible for animals or birds.
• No introduction of unquarantined new stock.
• Consistently monitored water parameters.

• Records of all customer complaints.
• All stock can be traced.

• Increasing number of deadly diseases and viruses, some notifiable.
• Constant risk of major mishaps. Some of these (like KHV) may cause considerable damage to brand name and bottom line.
• Some diseases (like KHV) are not discernable at lower temperatures.
• A biosecure system can provide a reliable and consistent source of fish as it is not susceptible to climate, weather or natural influence.

• Random independent PCR scans for KHV.
• Treatments: when necessary as well as prophylactic.
