GB/T 15805.2-2008

This standard specifies the quarantine and laboratory detection methods for Infectious Haematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHNV) in fish, including virus isolation, identification, and serological techniques. It is applied in the aquaculture industry, particularly for the health inspection and disease surveillance of salmonid fish species such as rainbow trout and Pacific salmon during import, export, and domestic transport. The standard ensures accurate diagnosis to prevent the spread of IHNV, a highly contagious viral disease that causes significant economic losses in fish farming.
