Two ISA outbreaks in Chile
According to Sernapesca, the new affected company (Acuinova) has to get rid of those infected fish in pursuance of the biosecurity measures established by the Authority. In order to do so, Acuinova could harvest or eliminate those cages. In the first case, the company has 15 days to harvest; while in the second case, that deadline is of 7 days. Whatever the procedure decided, Sernapesca will oversee its accomplishment. The other affected company is Acuimag, which harvested the last infected fish within the last weekend.
Besides, Sernapesca describes ten suspect sites of HPR0 (avirulent strain) 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 no 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).
