Risk levels

Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals · European Union

A high-risk farm or mollusc farming area is a farm or mollusc farming area which: has a high risk of spreading diseases to or contracting diseases from other farms or wild stocks; operates under farming conditions which could increase the risk of disease outbreaks (high biomass, low water quality), taking into account the species present; sells live aquatic animals for further farming or restocking. A medium-risk farm or mollusc farming area is a farm or mollusc farming area which: has medium risk of spreading diseases to or contracting diseases from other farms or wild stocks; operates under farming conditions which would not necessarily increase the risk of disease outbreaks (medium biomass and water quality), taking into account the species present; sells live aquatic animals mainly for human consumption. A low-risk farm of mollusc farming area is a farm or mollusc farming area which: has a low risk of spreading diseases to or contracting diseases from other farms or wild stocks; operates under farming conditions which would not increase the risk of disease outbreaks (low biomass, good water quality), taking into account the species present; sells live aquatic animals for human consumption only.
