15.1.7.7. On-site inspection of exporting facilities

For movements of “high risk” species, the CA of the importing country may wish to make on-site visits to proposed hatchery or other production facilities to verify the biosecurity measures that are in place to support claims of health status. Such visits have been used, for example, by Canada’s DFO for the importation of Atlantic salmon and by the Thai Department of Fisheries (DoF) in the approval of production facilities for SPF penaeid shrimp.
