Preface


This Enterprise Manual for aquatic animal diseases is an integral part of the Australian Aquatic Veterinary Emergency Plan, or AQUAVETPLAN.

The manual aims to assist disease control operations in the field. It contains information that will be useful in all phases of a disease outbreak incident or emergency. The manual can be used in a variety of aquatic animal disease emergencies, including an exotic disease incursion or an outbreak associated with a previously unknown endemic agent.

The Enterprise Manual was the first of the series of AQUAVETPLAN manuals to be commissioned, in November 2000. The current version of the manual has been revised and updated to complement the other AQUAVETPLAN documents, which give further information on disease epidemiology, disinfection and disposal techniques, command structures, and response policies for selected diseases of aquatic animals. For information relating to diseases of terrestrial animals, refer to the series of AUSVETPLAN manuals (www.animalhealthaustralia.com.au/programs/emergency-animal-disease-preparedness/ausvetplan).

This Enterprise Manual is aimed at both government and industry personnel who may be involved in emergency aquatic animal disease preparedness and response. The manual is designed to enable decision-makers to access information on industry practices and environments so that they can create applicable control strategies at short notice. The manual is also designed to inform industry personnel of the necessary steps and factors involved in decision-making under emergency conditions. As well, the manual should be used as a training and emergency briefing resource for officers working on an aquatic animal disease control programme who are not familiar with aquatic animals.

The Enterprise Manual is designed to complement, rather than replace, state or territory, industry, or farm operational emergency plans. The manual uses a generic approach to reflect the diverse nature of aquatic animal industries, and the wide diversity of disease agents and hosts that may be involved in an emergency situation. In many cases, little will be known of the disease agent, and so a control strategy may need to be developed very quickly using first principles and available knowledge. This Enterprise Manual will help to provide that knowledge.

The Enterprise Manual is a concise source of information on industry practices and structures. It outlines approaches that should be considered in the face of an aquatic animal disease emergency. The manual covers the entire range of aquatic animal industries and has been split into the following ‘systems’:



open systems: systems in which there is no control of either host movement or water flow (e.g. wild-caught fisheries)

semi-open systems: systems in which there is control of host movement but no control of water flow (e.g. net-pen culture)

semi-closed systems: systems in which there is control of host movement and some control of water flow (e.g. pond culture, race culture)

closed systems: systems in which there is good control of both host movement and water flow (e.g. recirculation aquaculture, aquaria).

The husbandry practices of a single industry may incorporate more than one of the above systems in different phases of production—for example, prawn culture, where wild broodstock is collected from an open system, hatcheries use a closed and/or a semi-closed system, and grow-out uses a semi-closed system. Section B provides further information on systems.

The Enterprise Manual has three sections:

Section A provides definitions and general response structures. It also includes a summary of the likely links and lines of communication during investigation of an outbreak or planning of a response.

Section B addresses industry-specific information needed for disease control or eradication.

Section C provides possible responses in the various systems to an aquatic animal disease emergency.

The Enterprise Manual has been designed to provide sufficient industry-specific information to enable timely and considered decisions to be made in response to an identified or unidentified aquatic animal disease emergency in any system. It does not address the actions to take if a particular disease occurs in a particular species. For these instances, relevant details may be contained in the disease strategies, operational manuals and management manuals. The full list of available AQUAVETPLAN manuals is as follows:

The format of this manual was adapted from similar manuals in AUSVETPLAN. The format and content have been kept as similar as possible to AUSVETPLAN documents, to enable animal health professionals trained in AUSVETPLAN procedures to work efficiently with this document in the event of an aquatic veterinary emergency. The work of the AUSVETPLAN writing teams and the permission to use the original AUSVETPLAN documents are gratefully acknowledged.

The revised manual has been reviewed and approved by the following representatives of government and industry:

Government

CSIRO Australian Animal Health Laboratory

Department of Primary Industries, New South Wales

Department of Primary Industry and Fisheries, Northern Territory

Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Queensland

Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment, Tasmania

How to use this manual


Don’t panic! This manual is not meant to be read from cover to cover.

The manual is divided into three user-friendly sections.



Section A provides general information on emergency responses.

Section B provides information on industry practices relevant to disease control.

Section C provides information on response options.

Appendixes provide information on Australian, state and territory legislation; seafood-borne disease in humans; diseases of concern; animal species currently used for aquaculture in Australia; use of drugs and other chemicals in aquaculture; and useful contact numbers.

1. Read Section A when you receive the manual.

2. Select the production system that relates to the current problem.

To determine which system you are considering, ask:

Is movement of the host controlled?

Is movement of the water controlled?

Open systems: systems in which there is no control of either host movement or water flow (e.g. wild-caught fisheries).

Semi-open systems: systems in which there is control of host movement but no control of water flow (e.g. net-pen culture).

Semi-closed systems: systems in which there is control of host movement and some control of water flow (e.g. pond culture, race culture).

Closed systems: systems in which there is good control of both host movement and water flow (e.g. recirculation aquaculture, aquaria).

Then select the appropriate section of the manual.

3. In the event of a disease outbreak, do the following.

Review Section A.

Read the part of Section B relevant to your industry.

Read Section C1 (general principles) and the section relevant to your industry and/or production system.

Check for relevant Disease Strategy manuals and other AQUAVETPLAN documents, when required.
