The Order’s purpose is to monitor and record Infectious pancreatic necrosis and bacterial kidney disease cases in aquaculture, by classifying them in 5 categories listed under Appendix 1: disease-free health status (I), health status as defined following monitoring (II), maintaining health status as category I or II. Production farms with a health status category II or II on IPN or BKD shall, once a year, be subject to inspection by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration for the sampling of at least 30 fish for laboratory testing.
