Abstract: This information collection is necessary to assure the safety of our commercial and natural aquatic resources against the introduction into the United States of injurious fish species or their eggs, while still allowing for importation of those species and eggs if deemed safe and appropriate. Information gathered via forms authorized under this collection are used by the aquaculture industry and the commercial and recreational fishing industry. The importation of salmonid without documentation of their health status poses an immediate risk to the wild fish populations in the United States. Salmonid fish containing the pathogens listed in statute pose an immediate threat to wild fish populations and therefore are considered injurious under the Lacey Act. Commerce in healthy fish is essential for the aquaculture and fishing industry in the United States. Without salmonid imports the aquaculture industry in the United States would suffer, as would scientific research and conservation efforts at research institutions and within State, Federal and Tribal agencies.
