Reports on diseases, any use of chemotherepeutants, changes in faunal composition, benthic and water column quality monitoring and all landings of aquacultured fish species will be made quarterly. 7. Samples/records be maintained and made available for source feed batch codes, total number of fish by species, estimated size of fish and dates of introduction.

8. Names address and phone number of suppliers and analytical facility assessing suppliers disease status. Frozen samples of any mortalities and/or morbidities as per USDA standards. Fingerlings be satellite DNA documented prior to cage introduction. 9. Fish will be maintained intact until offloading ashore.
