I'm not 100% sure if every fish that is brought into the state has to be given a clean bill of health for VHS or not.

Call or e-mail the State Board of Animal Health to double check.


Scott if they are not on the VHS susceptible list there is no preimportation permit required. That is unless something has changed I don't know about.

Brook trout are an example. Not on that list so no pre-importation permit required.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
