Canadian seafood giant Cooke Aquaculture's Cold Ocean Salmon farming operations in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) has confirmed the presence of infectious salmon anemia (ISA) after a positive test last week.

On July 10, the company reported the infection at its "North of Killbuck Cove" site and confirmed it July 20. The farm is located near McCallum, NL and contains six cages that are stocked with approximately 340,000 Atlantic farmed salmon.
