The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has ordered that approximately 800,000 fish at a Gray Aquaculture site in Goblin Bay be destroyed.
A statement released in the week of 2 June to 8 June, by the CFIA read in part: “Given the similarity of the strain between the site and the other site where an Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA) was detected in December 2012, the CFIA has issued an Order to Destroy and is working with the industry in order to start the depopulation process.”
The CFIA has also placed control measures on the movement of people, vessels, equipment and fish onto or off the premises in order to prevent any potential disease spread.
