PRO/AH> Infectious salmon anemia – Canada: (NS)

Other Animal Disease — Canada
Nova Scotia fisheries minister Keith Colwell says 600 000 salmon smolts have been killed following an outbreak of infectious salmon anemia at 2 land-based aquaculture facilities last month [February 2018]. Colwell says the small, independently owned fish farms are close to each other, but he would not name them or say where they are located. He says it was almost a complete loss for one company, but the other lost only part of its stock.
Colwell says there are no health concerns for humans
