Research to Support Evidence-Based Decisions on Infectious Hematopoetic Necrosis in British Columbia Salmon Farms (AE 03/04-01)
Infectious hematopoetic necrosis (IHN) is an urgent fish health issue in British Columbia. It has, in recent years, become a primary production bottleneck in farmed Atlantic salmon due to the devastating mortality rates that result from infection and the associated costs of disease control.
Although IHN is well known in wild Pacific salmon, there are concerns that the presence of the disease in farmed stocks may alter the epidemiology and impacts of IHN in wild fish.
The purpose for this request for proposals is to support research that can provide evidence to assist fish health managers and regulatory agencies make decisions that will:
- Reduce the impacts of IHN disease on affected salmon farms;
- Reduce the rate of IHN disease on salmon farms and/or;
- Assess and manage the risk that IHN on commercial farms will negatively alter the epidemiology and effects of the disease in wild salmon or other commercially or ecologically important fish.
