Oslo-listed salmon farmer Bakkafrost is suspecting a possible pathogenic infectious salmon anemia (ISA) virus on a Bakkafrost farming site on the Faroe Islands.
The detection is "not connected to any increase in mortality, and there is no impact on fish health or fish welfare," the company said. However, three of of the routine surveillance samples taken at farm A80, Selatrad by the veterinary authority, have been tested ISA-positive," it stated.
The company activated its ISA contingency plan immediately, it said, and slaughtered the last cage at the affected farming site.
