Appendix V Existing Legislation or Code of Practices Adopted by Individual Countries in Respect of Introducing <strong>Aquatic</strong> Species The operative legislation of some of the countries has been dealt with in the individual presentations. In this Appendix, a summary of the legislation, and in the event there is no legislation the mechanisms that operate in deciding on introducing a species to that country, is presented. AUSTRALIA: The operative legislation covers all plant and animal introductions to Australia by the Wildlife Protection (Regulation of Export Imports) Act 1982 of the Commonwealth (Federal) Government. The Act is administered by the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service, and on matters regarding aquatic species technical advice is rendered by the Advisory Committee on Live Fish (ACOLF) of the Australian Fisheries Council. The ACOLF also serves in an advisory capacity for inter-state translocations. Australia is also a signatory to the CITES and the SPREP conventions. INDIA: There is no existing legislature on the importation/introduction of aquatic organisms. However, the Indian Council for Agricultural <strong>Research</strong>, through the Commissioner of Fisheries, decides on any proposed introductions. India is also a signatory to CITES. INDONESIA: Indonesia has recently adopted the code of practice developed by the European Inland Fisheries Advisory Committee (EIFAC) for the introduction of aquatic organisms (Artmadja Hardjumulia, pers. comm.). However, this informal adoption has yet to be legalized. JAPAN: There are no restrictions or rules governing introduction of exotic species into Japan. Japan is a signatory to CITES and is only bound by this convention. 153
154 MALAYSIA: IDRC CR11 rnFIN 257598 The present Fisheries Act 1984, which replaced the Fisheries Act 1963, governs the introductions into Malaysia and also translocations between West Malaysia to Labuan or Sabah and Sarawak and vice versa. The Director General of Fisheries is empowered by Section 40(2) of the Act to issue permits for introductions, and to establish and determine the quarantine procedure and facilities. The above Federal Statute is an addition to the number of State enactments some of which have been in existence since 1934. Malaysia is also a signatory to the CITES. PHILIPPINES: There are no laws governing the introduction of aquatic organisms. Most research institutes and universities however, follow strict quarantine measures with imported species. SRI LANKA: There are no laws governing the introduction of aquatic organisms per Se. However, the strict customs regulations act as a safety valve, and imported live organisms are expected to be brought into the country on the recommendation of Zoological Gardens, The Department of Agriculture and in the case of aquatic species, the Ministry of Fisheries. The deliberate release of aquatic organisms in the wild can be carried out only on the authority of the Ministry of Fisheries. Sri Lanka is a signatory to CITES. TAIWAN: There are still no laws/regulations governing the importation of aquatic organism into Taiwan. However, a few governmental organizations have some regulations with respect to certain types or species of fish. Importation of food and ornamental aquatic organisms is under the jurisdiction of the Taiwan Fisheries Bureau and the Council of Agriculture. The final authority for issue of permits lies with the Executive Yuan of the Council of Agriculture, which acts on the advice of Taiwan Fisheries Bureau. THAILAND: Mi101 A Royal Decree in 1953 prohibited the introduction of many exotic animals and plants. It was amended in 1982 and was made into law in 1983. The law prohibits the introduction of 176 species of fish, 21 species of invertebrates and 16 species of algae.
