Here's a slightly different answer to your question ...I don't think anyone denies there are a few non virulent strains of ISAv on the Pacific coast but credible and qualified (key words) researchers from Washington, BC and Alaska have found no evidence of ISA, the disease. This is relatively easy to test as there are no net pen Atlantic's or Cowichan River Brown Trout dying from this disease. If it was here, there would be measurable mortalities.Agentaqua , I meant to say say on articles . Dave , I am referring to (prv) , (isav) ,and (ihnv) .
Hey, Trump might be the next President of the US so anything is believable to some.
True enough for Cowichan browns but totally wrong for net penned Atlantic's. ISA is a CFIA reportable disease and must be documented, and if it was the farmers would be compensated. In todays age of social media any large die off of farmed Atlantics would be front page news; it hasn't happened.Sometimes the "different" part of an answer is also the "incorrect" part and/or the purposely misleading part that came back from the scriptwriters.
In the "wild" - fish that die or are nearly dead - are either eaten by predators quickly - or sink. Out of sight - out of mind for some apparently. These mortalities would not be "measurable".
I respect Brian. Doubt if he has any more pull with CFIA than anyone else, though.
the "C" in CFIA stands for "Canadian", BN.So Washington and Alaska are in on this "conspiracy" as well Agent?
