Prawn fishers raise the alarm on proposed changes to import disease testingThe seafood industry is raising the alarm on the federal government's draft guidelines for disease testing on some imports.
Under the proposal, imported containers of prawns won't be tested for diseases like white spot on arrival, but before it is shipped.
As it stands, test samples are taken from 100% of uncooked prawns containers which arrive in Australia.
Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke to Australian Prawn Farmers Association Chief Executive Kim Hooper about the situation.
