Biosecurity (Notifiable Organisms) Order 2016.

This order designates certain organisms as notifiable under the Biosecurity Act 1993 in New Zealand. The order lists various organisms that are considered significant due to their impact on agriculture, ecosystems, and public health. These organisms include pathogens affecting animals such as dogs, fish, humans, and pigs, as well as invasive plants, amphibians, crustaceans, and honey bees. The document specifies the scientific names and common names of these organisms, making it easier for authorities and stakeholders to identify and respond to potential threats. It also includes information on the revocation of previous orders, indicating the evolution of biosecurity measures over time. The schedule within the order categorizes notifiable organisms based on their impact on different sectors, highlighting the importance of monitoring and controlling these species to prevent the spread of diseases and protect biodiversity. The order is administered by the Ministry for Primary Industries and is subject to amendments to ensure it remains up to date with current biosecurity concerns.
