The long term vision of the regional programme for improving aquatic animal health capacity in the RECOFI Member countries is: “To develop and maintain aquatic animal health capacity in the RECOFI Region that will be able to support the sustainable development and management of the aquaculture sector while protecting regional biodiversity and aquatic ecosystems from the impacts of exotic pathogens and epizootic disease”. -
Book (series)Aquaculture development. 2. Health management for responsible movement of live aquatic animals 2007These Technical Guidelines on Health management for responsible movement of live aquatic animals have been developed to support sections of FAO’s Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) addressing responsible fisheries management (Article 7), aquaculture development (Article 9), international trade (Article 11) and fisheries research (Article 12). The objective of these guidelines is to assist countries in reducing the risk of introduction and spread of serious transboundary aquatic ani mal diseases (TAADs). Although they deal primarily with safe transboundary movement at the international level, they are also applicable to domestic movements between different provinces, geographical areas or zones of differing disease status. These Technical Guidelines also include guidance for health management at the farm and farm-cluster level, to the extent that these local production units are involved in the spread of TAADs.

The Technical Workshop on the Development of a Strategy for Improving Biosecurity (Aquatic Animal Health) in the Subregional Countries of the Mozambique Channel (Madagascar, Mozambique and the United Republic of Tanzania), held from 2 to 4 April 2013 in Maputo, Mozambique, was organized and facilitated by FAO with financial support from the World Bank and hosted by the National Institute for Development of Aquaculture and the Institute for Fish Inspection of Mozambique.
