The application of risk analysis in aquatic animal health management.

摘要: Risk analysis has only been regularly used in the management of aquatic animal health recent years. The Agreement on Application Sanitary and Phytosanitary measures (SPS) stimulated application risk to investigate disease risks associated with international trade (import analysis-IRA). A majority (9 17) analyses reviewed were IRA. other major focus parasite Atlantic salmon--Gyrodactylus salaris. Six studies investigated spread this parasite, between countries, rivers from farmed wild stocks, clearly demonstrated that can support policy development, biosecurity interaction stocks. Other applications included vertically transmitted pathogens emergence aquaculture. Covello-Merkhofer, model was most commonly appears be a flexible tool not for IRA but also investigation contexts. limitations identified assessments discussed. qualitative, partly due lack data quantitative analysis, this, it argued, constrained their usefulness purposes (i.e. setting appropriate sanitary measures); instances, qualitative result found adequate decision making. information about hazards large number fish species traded is likely constrain consequence assessment element omitted, or limited scope depth, rarely extending beyond examining evidence susceptibility hazard. reasons are discussed recommendations made develop guidelines consistent, systematic multi-disciplinary approach assessment. improved making by providing transparent method using available scientific information. main constraint health. identification critical parameters an important output models which should prioritise research.
