Animal welfare Strengthen animal welfare management with reference to the “Guidelines on Good Practices for Improving Animal Welfare in Animal Husbandry”. General principles of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) regarding animal welfare in livestock production systems: 1.

Genetic selection should always take into account the health and welfare of animals. 2. Animals selected to be introduced into a new environment should be adapted to the local climate and capable of adapting to local diseases, parasites and nutrition. 3.

The physical environment, including substrates (such as walking surfaces, resting surfaces, etc.), should be suitable for the species to reduce the risk of injury, disease, or parasite transmission to animals. 4.

The physical environment should allow for comfortable rest, safe and comfortable movement (including normal postural changes), and provide opportunities for animals to engage in natural behaviors that they are motivated to perform. 5. The social grouping of animals should be managed to allow positive social behaviors and minimize harm, suffering, and long-term fear. 6.

For captive animals, the air quality, temperature, and humidity should be conducive to animal health rather than being aversive. In extreme cases, animals should not be prevented from using their natural methods of regulating body temperature.

7.Animals should have access to sufficient feed and water suitable for their age and needs to maintain normal health and productivity, and to prevent prolonged hunger, thirst, malnutrition or dehydration. 8.Diseases and parasites should be prevented and controlled as much as possible through good management measures.

Animals with serious health problems should be isolated and treated promptly; if treatment is not feasible or recovery is unlikely, humane slaughter should be carried out. 9. If painful procedures cannot be avoided, the resulting pain should be managed to the extent permitted by existing methods. 10.

When dealing with animals, a positive relationship between humans and animals should be fostered, and no harm, panic, lasting fear or avoidable stress should be caused. 11. Owners and breeders should possess sufficient skills and knowledge to ensure that animals are treated in accordance with these principles. Pay attention to developing good animal welfare conditions.

The five freedoms of animal welfare are as follows: 1. Freedom from hunger and thirst, with ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigor. 2. Freedom from discomfort, by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area. 3. Freedom from pain, injury and disease through prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment. 4.

Freedom to express normal behavior by providing sufficient space, appropriate facilities and the company of con-specifics. 5. Freedom from fear and distress by ensuring conditions and treatment that avoid mental suffering. Epidemic spread Risk control of epidemic spread 1. Investigation of zoo-noses. 2. Conduct comprehensive disinfection and sterilization measures on storage places, transportation tools, etc.

on a regular basis. 3. The source and destination of goods need to be clearly recorded, and virus sampling inspections can be carried out on goods when conditions permit. 4. Formulate relevant emergency response plans, and promptly handle and report any detected epidemics. 5.

Producers and operators shall refer to international good practices (such as relevant guidelines of the World Health Organization), strictly abide by laws, regulations and relevant national food safety standards, and implement the epidemic prevention and control regulations of local competent authorities. Employees’ occupational health and safety 1.

Regularly organize employees to carry out training on occupational health and safety; employees in professional positions shall receive pre-job training, on the job training and physical examinations, as well as physical examinations upon leaving their posts; and training on the prevention of sexual harassment shall also be conducted. 2.

3.Monitoring frequency Breeding stage Monitoring time period Monitoring frequency Monitored species Monitoring points Duration Description Adult fish stage / late breeding stage Within 15 days before harvest For each project, once per crop, 3 monitoring points are monitored each time for 3 consecutive days, resulting in a total of 27 samples over 3 years.

Mainly cultured species / species with high pollution load As shown in the schematic diagram, at least 3 (pieces/units) 3 years During sampling, there is tail water from fish ponds in the adult fish stage discharged into the system.

Dry pond stage Within 7 days after pond cleaning For each project, once per crop, 3 monitoring points are monitored each time for 3 consecutive days, resulting in a total of 27 samples over 3 years. Mainly cultured species / species with high pollution load As shown in the schematic diagram, at least 3 (pieces/units) 3 years During sampling, there is drainage from dried fish ponds discharged into the system.

Table 4.2 Monitoring frequency Table 4.On-site investigation and analysis and evaluation To objectively analyze the effectiveness of the tailwater treatment system, the monitoring unit shall conduct necessary on-site investigations each time it enters the site for sampling.

These investigations shall include the cultured species, breeding scale, stocking density, yield per mu, input conditions, tailwater discharge behaviors of farmers (intermittent discharge or continuous drainage), changes in the surrounding water environment, testing conditions of local ecological authorities, opinions of farmers, as well as treatment water volume, system power consumption, and medication dosage related to the system’s operating costs.

The purpose is to comprehensively and objectively analyze the compliance status, process effectiveness, operating costs, existing problems of 10 typical tailwater treatment technologies, and put forward corresponding suggestions.
