This study presents the results of applying the FAO’s Surveillance Evaluation Tool (SET) to assess the Spanish disease surveillance system for farmed fish species, which although applied previously in livestock production, is applied here to aquaculture for the first time. Overall, there were important score differences between trout and marine fish (seabass and seabream) surveillance, which were higher for trout in the following areas: Institutional (70.8% versus 50.0%), Laboratory (91.7% versus 47.2%), and Surveillance activities (75.3% versus 61.3%). For other categories, the values were lower and no significant differences were found. However, most surveillance efforts focused only on trout, for which there are EU and WOAH listed (notifiable) diseases. In contrast, for seabream and seabass, for which there are no listed diseases, it was considered that surveillance efforts should, nevertheless, be in place and should focus on the identification of abnormal mortalities and emerging diseases, for which there are as yet no standardized harmonised methodologies. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/727315/EU/Mediterranean Aquaculture Integrated Development/MedAID This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 727315-MedAID info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 2.9 2024 VETERINARY SCIENCES 19 / 170 = 0.112 2024 Q1 T1 0.783 2024 Veterinary (miscellaneous) 2024 Q1 5.1 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Ruiz-Zarzuela, Imanol Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-6314-6395 Lamielle, Gael Von Dobschuetz, Sophie Furones, Dolors Rodgers, Chris Basurco, Bernardo 1009 773 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
