Fisheries Minister Derrick Dalley says the government is very concerned about the five cases of infectious salmon anemia (ISA) that have occurred in the Coast of Bays within the past year-and-a-half.
The latest ISA cases involved a Gray Aquaculture site at Pass My Can and a Cooke Aquaculture operation at Manuel’s Arm, which are both located in the northeast part of Bay d’Espoir.
Even though the outbreaks have been confined to a specific area, Dalley said, the province is concerned about managing and mitigating the impacts of any potential virus on the aquaculture industry.
