RELATING TO AQUACULTURE.

Summary

The bill lets Hawaii’s Division of Animal Industry set rules for bringing in and moving aquatic livestock, requiring disease testing, inspections and quarantine or removal if a risk is found. It defines key terms like “aquatic livestock,” “biocontainment,” and “biological aquatic risk,” and tasks the Aquaculture Program with building a risk‑based framework and facility standards. The goal is to protect native species and habitats while allowing responsible aquaculture.
