Abstract
Since 1997, the Wisconsin (USA) Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (WDATCP) has developed a regulatory fish health program that creates one set of health standards for both private fish farms and government fish hatcheries. The WDATCP began by working very closely with fish farmers, private veterinary practitioners, and government fish hatchery staff. The program includes registration of fish farms, certification of veterinarians, rules for health standards for fish introduced into publicwaters, and issuance of fish import permits.Akey component of the Wisconsin fish health program's success has been the close working relationship between WDATCP and fish farmers, and veterinarians.
