Abstract

The original USDA “Handling fish fed to fish-eating animals” document, published in 1998, has been an invaluable resource for zoos and aquariums for over 25 years and has also guided government agencies tasked with evaluating the care of wild animals in human care. However, changes in the seafood industry, advances in our understanding of food safety, and developments in our field have led to the need to update and expand the document to reflect our current knowledge.
