Icelandic authorities confirmed a suspected case of Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA) at a salmon farm belonging to Laxar Fiskeldi in Reydarfirdi, on the east coast of Iceland.
The Icelandic Food and Veterinary Institute (MAST) announced that the suspected finding, the first in the Icelandic salmon farming industry, was indeed the deadly virus.
The location and all associated operations have been isolated, and the affected fish have been harvested, the company said.
Laxar has two additional sites three and 11 kilometers from the affected site but is the only company operating in the affected fjord.
