some good articles gentlemen..... have there been any studies/papers regarding potential virus mutation? specifically the ones that are present in atlantic stocks.
I've read on here that ISA is present but has no effect on the pacific stocks... so basically has anyone looked into the possibility of it eventually effecting pacific salmon.
I come across this type of info on google. but nothing like a peer reviewed paper.
"The virus was found in two of 48 juvenile sockeye salmon collected as part of a long-term study of sockeye salmon led by Simon Fraser University professor Rick Routledge. "It is certainly possible that this disease may be benign for Pacific salmon, but I still don't rest easy because it was initially benign for Atlantic salmon and it mutated," he said Tuesday.
