These tests have been a requirement for batches of fish sent to aquaculture facilities outside Queensland. A few years ago Ausyfish volunteered to participate in a new scheme designed to better capture the health of fish at our aquaculture facility. This meant samples would be sent on a regular basis regardless of where the fish were to be sold. This is a more intensive, structured, Fish Health Certification Program, (FHCP) of testing which would enhance Ausyfish's ability to provide quality fish to its customers. To date no OIE or quarantinable diseases have been detected.

Ausyfish has always considered fish health to be a high priority. A new lab was constructed at Ausyfish in 2008. This lab has several microscopes, one having a camera fitted creating a good training tool for staff.
