1. May 6, 2014 ISA in Norway: http://www.thefishsite.com/fishnews/23111/suspicion-of-isa-on-nordland-fish-farm.
2. April 29, 2014 ISA in Chile: http://www.thefishsite.com/fishnews/23072/weekly-overview-chilean-salmon-producer-criticised-over-failure-to-harvest-infected-cages.
Chile's use of antibiotics for secondary infections hit the 2008 ISA outbreak level of use in 2013. I suspect we are now looking at another collapse of the Chilean industry. In the last one, a quarter of a billion dead fish had to be disposed of. 13,000 to 26,000 workers lost their jobs.
Go back and look at my ISA table, Friday, October 21, 2011: 2011: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2011/10/isa-infections-world-wide-sine-1984.html.
I missed reporting for one year, so the table would be even longer, but, as is, the table tells the story: fish farms propagate ISA, and other diseases, thereby making virulent strains available for the wild fish that Canadians, Norwegians and so on want safe from fish farm infections.
