The 2021 National Aquatic Animal Epidemic Prevention Symposium and Expert Committee Meeting will be held online

On November 30, the 2021 National Symposium on the Prevention and Control of Aquatic Animal Diseases and the Fifth Plenary Meeting of the Second Expert Committee on the Prevention and Control of Aquaculture Diseases of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs was held online

The meeting believed that, with the joint efforts of fishery administrative departments at all levels, aquatic animal disease prevention and control, technology promotion institutions, scientific research and teaching units, as well as the expert committee of aquaculture disease prevention and control and the expert committee of the epidemic prevention standardization technical working group, the national aquatic animal disease prevention and control group in 2021 The epidemic prevention and control work has been steadily advanced, and remarkable results have been achieved, providing important support for promoting the green and high-quality development of the aquaculture industry, and the stable production and supply of aquatic products

First, the quarantine training of aquatic fry and seeds has a wide range of influences

The second is the continuous innovation of popular science propaganda methods

Third, emergencies are dealt with in a timely manner

Fourth, the standardization of aquatic animal epidemic prevention has been steadily advanced

In addition, the special monitoring of important aquatic animal diseases will be carried out steadily in 2021; the "National Animal and Plant Protection Ability Improvement Project Plan (2017-2025)" will be further implemented, and the laboratory testing ability verification of the aquatic animal epidemic prevention system will continue to be carried out.

The meeting pointed out that China's aquatic animal epidemic prevention work still faces some problems, mainly in the following: the situation of aquatic animal epidemic prevention and control is complex and severe, the quarantine work in the production area of ​​aquatic fry and seeds still needs to be strengthened, insufficient funds restrict the normal development of epidemic prevention and control work, and aquatic animal vaccines The variety is difficult to meet the needs of disease prevention and so on

The meeting emphasized that all departments must accurately grasp the new situation and new requirements, conscientiously implement the "Biosafety Law of the People's Republic of China", the "Animal Epidemic Prevention Law of the People's Republic of China" and other laws and regulations and the "About the Implementation of Green and Healthy Aquatic Products" issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in 2021.

The meeting requested that the next step should focus on the following work

First, solidly promote the implementation of the quarantine system for aquatic fry and seed production areas

The quarantine system for aquatic fry at the place of origin is an important system established in accordance with the Law of the People's Republic of China on Animal Epidemic Prevention, the Measures for the Administration of Animal Quarantine and other laws and regulations to prevent and control aquatic animal diseases at the source and ensure the safety of aquatic organisms

The second is to strengthen the monitoring and disposal of aquatic animal diseases

Aquatic animal disease monitoring is the most basic work for disease prevention and control, and it is also an important basis for scientific disease prevention and government decision-making

The third is to strengthen aquaculture biosafety management

Formulate "anti-epidemic conditions for aquatic seedlings" and incorporate it into the review and management system for animal epidemic prevention conditions

Fourth, strive for capital investment in epidemic prevention and control through multiple channels
.

Make full use of policies such as fishery development subsidies, actively strive for provincial and local financial support, and increase investment in emergency monitoring of emerging epidemics, vaccine promotion, epidemic purification, and aquaculture tailwater treatment
.
Give full play to the role of the chief scientist in the fishery field of the modern agricultural industry technology system and the scientist in the disease post to carry out joint research and realize resource sharing
.
Implement the "National Animal and Plant Protection Capacity Improvement Project Construction Plan (2017-2025)" construction project
.

The fifth is to strengthen the construction of a joint prevention and control mechanism for industry-university-research promotion
.

The scientific research team should make full use of the expert committee and the platform of the Fisheries Society to understand the industry situation and carry out targeted research
.
Promotion (epidemic control) institutions should give full play to the advantages of the aquatic technology promotion system and build bridges between academic research platforms and industrial development platforms
.
It is necessary to strengthen the research and promotion of comprehensive prevention and control measures, strengthen the research and development of aquatic animal vaccines, strengthen the investigation and research on new diseases, and bring aquatic animal epidemic prevention system laboratories and aquatic animal bacteria (virus) species preservation institutions into unified and standardized management as soon as possible
.

During the meeting, the "2021 China Aquatic Animal Health Status Report" was also released
.
Representatives from Shandong, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Tianjin, Qinghai and Beijing provinces (cities) made typical speeches
.
The list of 11 units that have achieved satisfactory results in all items and 32 grass-roots units that have achieved 4 or more satisfactory results in the 2021 National Aquatic Animal Epidemic Prevention System Laboratory Testing Ability Verification was announced
.
Experts from the Expert Committee on the Prevention and Control of Aquaculture Diseases of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs made an analysis report on the epidemic situation of crustacean shellfish, freshwater fish and marine fish
.

Representatives from the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, the China Center for Animal Disease Control and Prevention, and the China Center for Animal Health and Epidemiology were invited to attend the meeting
.
Relevant persons in charge of fishery administrative departments, aquatic animal disease prevention and control institutions, and aquatic technology promotion institutions of all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country, as well as all expert members of the 2nd Expert Committee on the Prevention and Control of Aquaculture Diseases of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the National Aquatic Standardization Technical Committee A total of more than 160 people, including all members of the Technical Working Group for Aquatic Animal Epidemic Prevention Standardization and specially invited experts, attended the meeting
