The European Union Reference Laboratory (EURL) for Fish and Crustacean Diseases is funded by the European Commission and is situated within the Section for Fish and Shellfish Diseases at DTU Aqua – National Institute of Aquatic Resources at the Technical University of Denmark.
The functions and duties of the EURL are concerned with harmonizing diagnostic procedures for notifiable fish and crustacean diseases in Europe.
The Section for Fish and Shellfish Diseases at DTU Aqua has since 1994 been designated as the EURL for fish diseases. From July 2018, the functions and duties were expanded to also include crustacean diseases.
