Aquatic Animal Health

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) addresses aquatic animal diseases of finfish, molluscs and crustaceans through the National Aquatic Animal Health Program (NAAHP). The NAAHP is co-delivered by the CFIA and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The program is consistent with international standards set by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).
