Birdsnest is correct.
This as noted in the article is here.
So, if the federal hatcherys get it from using wild stock, what then?
No hatchery fish, no fishing?
The court ruling stated that PRV is a highly infectious virus, first discovered in Norway in 2010. It is now also present in waters off the U.K., Ireland, Chile, the U.S. and Canada. It is found in B.C. in both wild and farmed salmon.
We never tested our blood donors and look where that got us.Birdsnest is correct.

What is the Fish Farm thing? The courts have ruled and what it really says is that similar to when they knew about tainted blood they did not act, harming a lot of people and here in the case of PRV they knew since at least 2000 and did not act harming a lot of Wild Salmon. Shame!Lets not do the fish farm thing again.
Yummm! Tasty vaccinesIf companies aren't formulating vaccines for this virus now, they soon will be.
Yummm! Tasty vaccines
Organic my man.Don't eat meat or drink milk I take it?
Organic my man.
As much as possible anyways
Fair enough. I happen to think farmed salmon is gross. Just an opinion thoughhow does that have anything to do with cows or dairy cows being vaccinated? You cant raise organic beef without them being vaccinated in canada, its illegal.
So let me get this straight.
Fish Farms bring disease, it spreads to our some of our wild stock but we should continue to allow Fish Farms to spread this disease unabated because some of our hatchery fish might have the same disease.
Solution, turn a blind eye to it all and hope for the best??
Most ENGO's want hatchery shut down, So Im sure if it has implications for transferring smolts to net pens all the better for them.
Will have to see if DFO adds PRV to their list of virus to screen for or if they are just going to limit it to FF transfer licences. From what I have read FF have been testing for PRV before they transfer for the last few year now.
Courts are always funny in how and when they decide to apply the PP. For example break dust is one of the most harmful things to spawning salmon. Yet guaranteed they will always allow runoff from streets to flow into rivers.
This was pretty easy for them, Just test before you transfer
Testing before they transfer is meaningless really. They are going to pick up the virus anyways. I think more work has to be done on the effects of prv all around. A better understanding of the effects of the presence of the virus at both ends of the issue is the only way to effectively apply the Precautionary Approach. Otherwise the precautionary approach has no limits in other areas of our everyday lives and other important industries.
