Winton Kevin Snekvik Theodore Meyers Bruce Stewart John Kerwin Marilyn Blair Joel Bader Joy Evered Kevin H Amos 2014 <p><span>Federal, state, and tribal fishery managers, as well as the general public and their elected representatives in the United States, were concerned when infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) was suspected for the first time in free-ranging Pacific Salmon collected from the coastal areas of British Columbia, Canada. This article documents how national and regional fishery managers and fish health specialists of the U.S. worked together and planned and implemented actions in response to the reported finding of ISAV in British Columbia. To date, the reports by Simon Fraser University remain unconfirmed and preliminary results from collaborative U.S. surveillance indicate that there is no evidence of ISAV in U.S. populations of free-ranging or marine-farmed salmonids on the west coast of North America.</span></p> application/pdf 10.1080/03632415.2014.967348 en American Fisheries Society U.S. response to a report of infectious salmon anemia virus in Western North America article
