Under the requirements of the designations all fisheries have been directed to establish and maintain on-site facilities for the disinfection of angling equipment at all access points for each of the designated sites and anglers must comply with their use.
Samples were taken from each of the affected sites following reported deaths of fish and tested positive for Koi Herpesvirus disease.
