One ISA outbreak in Chile
According to Sernapesca, the site “Bahía Perales” pertaining to the salmon producing company Acuimag has to get rid of those infected fish in pursuance of the biosecurity measures established by the Authority. In order to do so, they could harvest or eliminate those cages.
Besides, Sernapesca describes eleven suspect sites of HPR0 (non virulent strain of ISA virus) mainly located in the 11th Region, pertaining to the salmon producing companies Cupquelán, Australis Mar, Mainstream, Pesquera Los Fiordos, AquaChile and Acuimag.
Likewise, the report details that there are two sites under sanitary fallow (which were previously outbreaks or suspect sites but are currently without fish); and no sites in category of risk (without presence or manifestation of clinical disease but located within an infected area).
