National code on introductions and transfers of aquatic organisms .: Fs49-10/2017E-PDF

"In 2003, Canada’s provincial, territorial and federal governments jointly implemented the National Code on Introductions and Transfers of Aquatic Organisms (Code). The Code established an objective decision-making framework and consistent national process for assessing and managing the potential ecological, disease and genetic risks associated with intentionally moving live aquatic organisms into, between, or within Canadian watersheds and fish rearing facilities. The Code was last renewed by the Introductions and Transfers Renewal Task Group and endorsed by the Canadian Council of Fisheries and Aquaculture Ministers (CCFAM) in September 2013. This latest iteration (2017) represents the commitment of federal, provincial and territorial partners to ensure the Code continues to be efficient and effective”--Forward, p. i.
