Inspection and Detection of Disease Agents at the Department’s Facilities

(1) The Facility Manager must ensure that inspections are performed on all fish stocks no more than six weeks before fish are released or transferred to other locations in the state and on any fish to be imported into the state. The Department’s Fish Health Services must maintain a database of fish health examination results.
(2) The Facility Manager must complete a Fish Liberation Report for the import, export, or transfer of live fish or eggs in Oregon before moving any fish or eggs.
(3) The Facility Manager must ensure regular monitoring of all fish by a Department fish health specialist. Appropriate fish tissues must be screened for the presence of parasitic and bacterial agents and viral examinations of appropriate organs and lesions of moribund or dead fish depending on disease signs on affected fish.
(4) Examinations for Myxobolus cerebralis, agent of whirling disease, must be conducted regularly on 60 juvenile salmonid fish held for a minimum of 180 days at each facility, either annually for facilities in endemic regions or those that export fish or eggs out of state, or every three years in non-endemic regions without a history of M. cerebralis detection. In cases where multiple water supplies exist, fish reared in each susceptible water supply must be sampled.
(5) The Facility Manager must direct the treatment or destruction of fish infected with any disease agent, whether listed in these rules or not, that may adversely affect the health of the fish of this state. The Department’s Fish Division will determine whether the affected fish must be destroyed.
(6) If fish loss exceeds 0.1 percent per day over five consecutive days in any rearing or incubation container, then the Facility Manager must:
(a) Have an examination promptly performed on live and dead fish from each pond of concern by a Department fish health specialist and, if the fish health specialist determines it is necessary, from the entire facility.
(b) Notify in writing by E-mail, fax, or equivalent means the Department’s Regional Office and Fish Division of the location, extent, and probable cause of such losses and provide written documentation of a planned Department-approved treatment regimen to control the fish disease agent.
(c) Fish Health Services must maintain a copy of the disease examination record after completing appropriate tests.
