I am not privy to all your news sources, but I caught another snippet on the news about an IHN infected fish farm out of Tofino.

IHN is a pretty nasty virus and could come back to Alberta at any time. An example was the Jasper hatchery.

I am wondering if any members in BC can give give us Alberta folks an update of what is actually happening in B.C. in terms of fish population infections like BKD, IHN, IPN.....?

I don't know which desease it is but have heard that the fish farms get a desease from the wild salmon. the wild ones are imune from the desease but the farmed ones have no imune to it. They get it when the wild ones swim up close and past the farmed ones.
