Based on the latest development of fish diseases referring to the OIE, the fish diseases situation at the regional level of Asia-Pacific based on NACA (Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific), as well as substantial fish diseases for the Indonesian fisheries sector by risk analysis, Indonesia finds the need to revise the Decree of Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries No. 91 of 2018 concerning Designation of Kinds of Quarantine Fish Disease, Categories, and Carrier. Based on the studies, discussions and expert consultations, the Ministerial Decree is subject to revision as attached to the draft.This Decree stipulate kinds of quarantine diseases of fish (QDF), with their categories, carrier as listed in the annex that is an integral part of this Decree. By the stipulation of this decree, the importation into the territory of the Republic of Indonesia shall be free from QDF.
