Read this important New York Times Green Blog where we go from here, having discovered deadly European Infectious Salmon Anemia virus in BC’s wild Pacific sockeye.

“The Atlantic Veterinary College
at the University of Prince Edward Island, which generated the positive
results, is the global reference lab for the disease — ‘the best there
is,’ according to James Winton,
the fish health section chief at the United States Geological Survey
Western Fisheries Research Center. ‘I have to believe that the results
are highly credible,’ he said. Assuming the disease is present,
the next immediate question is where it came from. Dr. [Daniel] Pauly suggests
that the virus’s introduction to British Columbia was an inevitability
associated with the aquaculture industry…

…Dr. Pauly said that time was of the essence and that action was being
delayed by discussion and debate. ‘We’re still in public relations
mode,’ he said. ‘But it’s a potential catastrophe — public relations
will not help in this.'” (Oct. 23, 2011)
