Share your views on our revised draft report for live marine ornamental fish import policy.
We are continuing to review the biosecurity risks associated with importing live marine ornamental fish sourced from all populations (wild and captive bred), and all countries into Australia.
We have made important changes to reflect stakeholder feedback on the draft report. To ensure the final report is fit for purpose and effectively identifies and manages associated biosecurity risks, we are now seeking your feedback on the revised draft report.
The revised draft report:
• builds on stakeholder feedback received between August – October 2024
• identifies biosecurity risks associated with importing permitted live marine ornamental fish into Australia
• proposes biosecurity measures necessary for reducing risk to a level which achieves Australia’s appropriate level of protection.
