Draft Import Risk Analysis: Fish Food

The draft import risk analysis considers commodities already imported into New Zealand under the existing import health standard which includes:

  • Rendered poultry products including poultry meal, poultry feather meal, poultry oil, and poultry blood meal
  • Rendered fishmeal
  • Artemia salina and Artemia franciscana
  • Zooplankton other than Artemia salina and Artemia franciscana (including Daphnia spp., Krill, and Mysida shrimps)
  • Blood worms (Chironomid midge larvae)

The risks associated with the importation of rendered ruminant meals for use in fish food and fish oil have also been considered.
