The Minister must refuse to issue an aquaculture permit if the Minister believes on reasonable grounds that there is a real risk that if the activity to which the permit relates were authorised:
(a) fish (whether cultivated or naturally occurring) could become infected with a particular disease, or
(b) the environment of the area where it is proposed to carry on the activity would be damaged.
