No deffinatly not. And how long before this becomes the next bird flu? I assume any virus could some how change its makeup over time.

Haven't been found in Washington Salmon only in farmed in other parts of the world but . . . may effect our salmon.  Sounds like Atlantic Salmon farmers want us to shell out money to fix their epidemic so they can still market Altantic Salmon??  Stop the pens!!!

There is a plan in the works right now to possibly put a bunch of pens in the straits.  They would be located between the Lyre and Twin Rivers (just west of Joyce).
