Minimum requirements for broodstock used for nutrient enhancement purposes Sample Clauses

Minimum requirements for broodstock used for nutrient enhancement purposes. The broodstock must have survived to spawn or have been killed as excess broodstock; and, • The broodstock must have met the required withdrawal time (e.g. as required by the FDA or prescribing veterinarian) if it received any antibiotic injections. • All pre-spawning mortalities (including their eggs) and adults that have not met the required withdrawal time (e.g. as required by the FDA or prescribing veterinarian) can not be used for nutrient enhancement purposes and must be disposed of in a way that prevents pathogens from getting back into State waters. Acceptable disposal methods include, but are not limited to, burial, composting, or rendering • A new detection of a reportable pathogen in a broodstock to be transferred to another watershed will require both the sending and receiving Fish Health Inspectors to provide the relevant Co-Managers and Co-Operators with a brief written assessment of the risk posed by the transfer at least five (5) working days prior to the transfer (Appendix 8.5). For the purposes of this policy, a “new” detection is any reportable pathogen that has not been detected in a stock within the past three successive spawning cycles.
