Norwegian salmon infection is no threat to the Murmansk fish
The outbreak of infectious salmon anemia detected in Norwegian Finnmark doesn’t threaten the Murmansk fish population, reports the Chairman of Veterinary Committee of the Murmansk region Alexey Kasatkin.

We shall remind that according to Dr Kristina Landsverk, Chief Veterinary Officer (Kleppnes, Finnmark), there has been detected an outbreak of infectious salmon anemia (ISA) at Grieg Seafood fishery which is growing over 1.3 mln salmon species.
