Description The handbook ‘Aquatic Exotics and Quarantine Guidelines’ has been prepared as
a complementary document to the draft ‘National Strategic Plan for Aquatic Exotics and
Quarantine’. The aim of both documents is to provide the framework to regulate the
introduction of exotics and quarantine in the country.. This is very important in the wake
of liberalization under World Trade Organisation (WTO) so that India is equipped to
minimize the ecological and disease risks associated with the likely increased in
introduction of live aquatic animals. The quarantine part of the present document is
based on the output from Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO)/ Network of
Aquaculture Centres of Asia-Pacific (NACA) initiative in this regard as well as the work
of Office International des Epizooties (OIE).
For aquatic quarantine, there has been regional initiative like FAO-NACA
programme and an international body responsible(OIE). )On the other hand, there has
been no separate inter-governmental initiative at the international level to draw up a code
for introduction of aquatic exotics except for provisions under FAO code of conduct and
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)
