‘Aquatic anima ls’ are animals as defined in Article 4, point (3), of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European 
Parliament and of the Council. ‘Aquaculture animals’ are aquatic animals which are subject to aquaculture as 
defined in Article 4, point (7), of Regulation (EU)  2016/429.  
All aquatic animals and products of animal origin from aquatic animals other than live aquatic animals, to which 
Part II.2.4. of this certificate applies, must originate from a country/territory/zone/compartment which appears in 
column 2 of the table in Part 1 of Annex XXI to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 .
