Susceptible Species of Aquatic Animals

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency updated the Canadian Susceptible Species of Aquatic Animals List (SSL) by adding twelve species and removing seven, based on changes to the species listed in various disease specific chapters of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) Aquatic Animal Health Code. In addition, in the Health of Animals Regulations, Schedule III was repealed and the Susceptible Species of Aquatic Animals List was incorporated by reference. This change will facilitate timely changes to the SSL to align with the revisions to the disease specific chapters of the OIE Aquatic Animal Health Code.
