The OIE’s involvement in aquatic animal health goes back many decades The Fish Diseases Commission was
created in 1960 because of the increasing awareness of the importance of international trade in fish and other aquatic animals.
In 1988, the scope of the Commission was extended to include diseases of molluscs and crustaceans.
In 2003, the Commission was renamed as the Aquatic Animal Health Standards Commission (in brief, Aquatic Animals Commission).

The standards are finally adopted by
the OIE International Committee at the
annual General Assembly of all
Delegates of OIE Member Countries.
The value of the OIE standards is
therefore twofold: The measures published in the OIE standards
are the result of consensus among the veterinary
authorities of OIE Member Countries; and
The OIE standards constitute a reference within
the SPS Agreement as international standards
for animal health and zoonoses.

The OIE Aquatic CodePurpose: To assure the sanitary safety of international
trade in aquatic animals (fish, molluscs and crustaceans) and their products.
Method: Detailing of health measures to be used by
the veterinary or other competent authorities of importing and exporting countries.
Reference: Only to the aquatic animal health situation in
the exporting country, assuming that either the disease is not present in the importing country or is the subject of a control or eradication programme.
Therefore, when determining its import measures, an importing country should do so in a way that is consistent with the principle of national treatment and the other provisions of the WTO SPS Agreement.

The OIE Aquatic ManualPurpose: to provide a uniform approach to the
diagnosis of the diseases listed in the Aquatic Code and of other diseases that may be of importance to trade, so that the requirements for health certification in connection with trade in aquatic animals and aquatic animal products can be met.
Method: pathogen identification methods that are
suitable for the diagnosis of isolated cases of disease as part of national aquatic animal health surveillance/control programmes, or as part of a programme to underpin claims of freedom from a specific disease.

Disease Ninth edition (2006) of the Aquatic Code
Tenth (2007) edition of the Aquatic Code
Infectious myonecrosis (IMN)
Not formally listed; footnote “Listing of this disease is under study”
Footnote removed, i.e. listed
White tail disease (WTD)
Not listed Listed
Hepatopancreatic parvovirus disease (HPVD)
Not listed Not formally listed; footnote “Listing of this disease is under study”
Mourilyan virus disease (MoVD)
Not listed Not formally listed; footnote “Listing of this disease is under study”
Aquatic Code – Disease list
The OIE International Committee (2007) adopted the following changes to the list of crustacean diseases:

Aquatic Code – Disease chapters
- new chapter on koi herpesvirus disease
- chapters for : mollusc diseases (6) crustacean diseases (6)
(“horizontal changes”)

For diseases now listed (IMN and WTD), specific reporting obligations will come into force on 1 January 2008.
Necrotising hepatopancreatitis (NHP) – a disease not formally listed in the 2006 version of the Aquatic Code – will retain the footnote “Listing of this disease is under study”, and HPVD and MoVD will now receive this label.
There are no specific reporting obligations for these diseases (but general reporting obligations apply, for example, when there are findings of epidemiological significance to other countries).
There were no changes to the list of fish diseases and the list of mollusc diseases
Aquatic Code – Disease chapters

Aquatic Code – Disease chapters Article 3 (commodities)
in point 1, the list of “safe” commodities was tidied up (i.e. if the disease agent is inactivated, the commodity is “safe” regardless of its intended end-use)
in point 3, the recommendation to conduct a risk analysis was restricted to only those commodities that can reasonably be expected to be a vector of the disease
Articles 4 (country freedom) and 5 (zone freedom)
in point 4, (regaining freedom after an outbreak in a country or zone), a requirement was added that previously existing basic biosecurity conditions must have been reviewed and modified as necessary and have continuously been in place again for at least the past 2 years

Article 8 (importation of live aquatic animals for aquaculture
from a country, zone or compartment not declared free)
the article was re-worded to better convey the recommendation
to hold these animals in biosecure conditions for their entire
life (the previous wording was “delivery into quarantine”,
which implies release at some stage).
A reference to the ICES Code of Practice on the Introductions
and Transfers of Marine Organisms was made in each chapter.

Aquatic Code – Zoning and compartmentalisation
AAC will now commence formulating specific recommendations
Aquatic Code – Recommendations for transport
Addressed the need to consider the biosecurity risks associated with aquatic animal transport water. Norway requested a minor change to the proposed wording to reflect that the added provisions do not apply to transport of aquatic animals by sea (“well boats”).

The OIE International Committee adopted new disease chapters for KHVD – listed only last year – for the Aquatic Code and for the Aquatic Manual.
There will be some amendments to the Aquatic Manual chapter on KHVD (eg. an alternative PCR method).
With specific reporting obligations for this disease in force since 1 January 2007, the adoption of these two chapters was timely.
Koi herpesvirus disease (KHVD)

- 65 OIE Member Countries had replied a questionnaire in December 2006, and of these replies, 70% supported the inclusion of amphibian diseases in the remit of the OIE.
- Ad hoc Group on Amphibian Diseases, with revised terms of reference that include the development of a list of diseases and draft chapters for the Aquatic Code and the Aquatic Manual.
Diseases of amphibians

Reference laboratoriesThere are currently 27 OIE Reference Laboratories for aquatic animal diseases. Under the guidance of an expert whose
competence is recognised internationally, they function as centres of expertise and standardisation of diagnostic techniques.
As well, they may provide scientific and technical training for personnel from Member Countries, and coordinate scientific and technical studies in collaboration with other laboratories or organisations.
