Review of live marine ornamental fish import policy – draft report

2024-A10

Biosphere

Good afternoon
 
We have released a review of the current marine and ornamental fish import policy. 

This risk review was initiated in response to trade enquiries, new scientific knowledge, and the impacts of the current policy (which only permits import of marine fish harvested from the wild) on the environment, especially tropical reefs.

Please find the Biosecurity Advice for this risk analysis here.

More information about this risk analysis is available on the department's website.
 
Kind regards
