Core Tip: The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has announced that it has lifted the quarantine on the aquaculture facility in British Columbia, which was imposed after the facility was associated with the case of infectious haematopoietic necrosis.
After the disease was identified, all affected fish were destroyed and disposed of. At that time, CFIA noted that facility will remain under quarantine until all pens, cages and equipment have been cleaned and disinfected.

The CFI has also announced that it will now post all confirmed cases of federally reportable aquatic animal diseases on its website on a monthly basis, as a part of its efforts to be more open and transparent in the management of aquatic animal diseases.

IHN affects the kidneys and spleen of the Atlantic farmed salmon, resulting in rotting flesh and organ failure. While IHN does not affect human health or food safety, it poses risks to aquatic animal health and the economy.
