The requirements of the first and second paragraphs do not apply where live fish are imported for aquarium fish-keeping purposes insofar as the fish is not of a native or naturalized species, or for research purposes, provided that
(1)  holding equipment and facilities are efficient;
(2)  waste water from such equipment and facilities is disinfected; and
(3)  the fish are destroyed once the experiments are completed.
