For Newfoundland.
The good news is if you are indeed following this issue and attempting to learn rather than simply forwarding press release's from other people of your persuasion you would know this latest East coast ISA finding is not applicable to BC, or Washington State salmon farming issues.  ::) 


Dave, awaiting the posse ;)

You gotta be suffocating with your head in the sand like that.....   

Reading this should be a lesson of what will certainly happen on the west coast. When the feedlot industry says it isn't and won't happen here we should be very worried.

On the other hand look for cheap virus infected feedlot salmon on your local grocery store shelves soon.

And soon, on a few select local FN reserves and road side stands.  Interestingly, I'm told a past Chief of perhaps the least salmon conservation minded band of the Sto-Lo groups, Cheam, was to be standing alongside AlMo at the Gala.  What's up with that?  Salmon farming bad - FN overharvest OK?

The virus they will be serving is IHNv, very common in Fraser River sockeye and like ISAv, harmless to people or other warm blooded animals.  Endangered Early Stuarts and small population summer runs will soon be available to those that want them, as they always are and will be till they're gone because there is a lucrative market; FN fishers will fish them, conservation and upstream FN band concerns be damned.

I will eat a farmed Atlantic over one of these sockeye any day.

If you Google "pancreas disease salmon" you will see a bunch of links outlining that this problem affects Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout.
Farmed Atlantics and steelhead are certainly mixing in the ocean.

Morton has a number of articles on the subject for what it's worth:

"Wild" is a bit of misnomer - I used it as an attention grabber - it would include hatchery fish as well.
This year was a stinker for steelhead.

It did indeed get my attention, but not so much now.  Thanks for the clarification Easywater.

LOL. Looks to me like Don (An American funded foreigner from England) and his sheeple got schooled by an Ahousaht. :) Was Don not sent home for being an illegal immigrant in Canada? Btw Chris, where is this farm you speak of? I did not see it in this feeble attempt of Don's circus act.
