Fish in Great Britains farms, freshwater fisheries, rivers and lakes are free from some of the most serious diseases that occur in other countries. The Diseases of Fish Act 1937, as amended by the Diseases of Fish Act 1983, empowers the Fish Health Inspectorate, based at CEFAS Weymouth, to control the movements of fish stocks where a notifiable disease is suspected or confirmed. Under Section 30 of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act 1975, the Environment Agency regulates the movement of fish within all inland waters in England and Wales other than movements onto Registered Fish Farm Sites.
