Status of Regulated Aquatic Animal Immediately Notifiable Diseases

The CFIA updates Canada’s health status at the national and regional levels as mandatory notifications of aquatic animal diseases are confirmed.

The tables below outline the current status for immediately notifiable diseases in both wild and cultured aquatic animals. The information is updated in real time to allow Agency staff to certify exports of aquatic animals.

Only confirmed cases are included in this table with the date of the last confirmed detection in parentheses.

The data included in these tables is for EXPORT purposes only.
