This course provides an overview of the aquatics (finfish, crustaceans, and cephalopods) and honey bee chapters of the AVMA Guidelines for the Depopulation of Animals (2026 edition), with an emphasis on humane, evidence-based decision-making during emergency depopulation events. Participants are first introduced to the tiered classification system used to evaluate method appropriateness, followed by taxa/species-specific guidance. In addition to reviewing depopulation methods, highlights include key planning considerations such as biosecurity, environmental impacts, regulatory compliance, and human safety.
