The establishments are registered when this is required by the EU animal health regulations. The requirements for such a registration and the requirements for aquaculture permits, which are managed by the county administrative board, do not correspond exactly.

Health statuses

The health status "declared disease-free" is only used when Sweden has a disease-free status for the disease in the territory in question.

When Sweden has an eradication program for a disease the health status "eradication program" is used. When relevant, this status is changed to "under investigation", "under restrictions" or "infected". This applies to BKD in the continental zone and to IPN in the coastal zone. The status "eradication program" does not mean that un infection is present at the establishment in question.

Since Sweden has neither a free status nor an eradication program for BKD in the coastal zone, establish­ments in the coastal zone with species susceptible to BKD receive the health status "no health status". For diseases for which Sweden has neither a free status nor an eradication program, no health status is indicated.

BKD-free area of water

A BKD-free area of water is defined as an area of water (excluding closed facilities) where one of these points apply:

• BKD has not been confirmed in the last ten years, in susceptible species of neither kept or wild animals.
• The area is previously BKD-free, BKD has been confirmed in kept animals, but slaughter or killing has taken place at the latest 30 days after the infection was confirmed. This can only be done at two occasions during a period of 6 years and the animals cannot have shown clinical signs of BKD.
• A thorough examination has been carried out on susceptible species of wild animals without BKD being confirmed.
