Fish kills protocol

The National Investigation and Reporting Protocol for Fish Kills (2007) was developed to provide a consistent national approach, and minimum standards, for the investigation and reporting of fish kill incidents.

Thorough investigation of fish kills – unusual mortality events in non-mammalian aquatic animals – can provide early warning of exotic or emerging diseases that could threaten Australia’s aquatic ecosystems, fisheries resources or aquaculture industries.
