APHIS safeguards aquatic livestock health, crucial for fostering a thriving U.S. aquaculture production community.
Aquaculture Is Agriculture
APHIS is the lead Federal agency for protecting and improving the health of farm-raised aquatic livestock nationwide. Our role helps to ensure U.S.-grown aquatic livestock are healthy and their products are of the highest quality for their intended use.
How APHIS Protects Aquatic Animal Health
Healthy U.S. farm-raised aquatic livestock are vital for supporting our Nation’s economy, jobs, food security, and local pride in producing the world’s healthiest aquatic animals.
To that end, APHIS works to support animal health protections while collaborating with aquatic livestock producers.
