During routine fish health tests held on May 14, Mainstream Canada’s Dixon Bay farm tested positive for the IHN (Infectious Haematopoietic
Necrosis) virus, the Campbell Riverbased company announced Tuesday. Third-party lab PCR test results have shown the presence of the virus. Sequencing has confirmed the presence of IHN virus in these fish. The farm site has been isolated
and is currently being prepared for depopulation, if deemed necessary upon completion of the investigation. The company is following strict protocols to limit the spread of the virus. The protocols are part of Mainstream Canada’s fish health management plan as
well as an industry viral disease management plan. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has been notified and is investigating the finding. Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s National Laboratory is conducting confirmatory testing.
“We are very concerned about this fish health event and are taking every step to make sure it is contained and any risks minimized,” said Fernando Villarroel, Mainstream Canada’s managing director. “This shows our disease monitoring programs work.”
