See this earlier post for ISA disease world wide, and also to the link to Kibenge's powerpoint presentation on ISA: http://www.fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2011/10/isa-infections-world-wide-sine-1984.html.
The purpose of this post is to simply report global disease stats as they become available, and thus show just how much disease that fish farms have around the world. Fish farms need to be on land where they cannot pass disease to wild fish around the world, nor use the ocean as a free open sewer. This list will grow very long:
34. 35. 36, Canada, Atlantic salmon, ISA, IPN, Viral Haemorrhagic Septicemi. New Foundland, NB, BC. http://inspection.gc.ca/animals/aquatic-animals/diseases/reportable/2013/eng/1339174937153/1339175227861
33. Scotland 2012, 8.5 million dead salmon. http://www.robedwards.com/2013/02/farmed-salmon-killed-by-disease-leaps-to-85-million.html. Mostly AGD, 10% of entire crop.
"A mountain of 13,627 tonnes of dead fish had to be disposed of in 2012 by 230 fish farms along the west coast and on the islands, compared to 9,717 tonnes in 2011 and 7,159 tonnes in 2010. The worst problems were in Shetland, where 2.4 million salmon died."
32. Chile, ISA, April 30, 2013. It looks like another epidemic is about to burst forth. The 2008 cost $2 billion. http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2013/04/30/chile-disease-problems-concern-marine-harvest/#.UaFB9bVQGQA

28. Chile, ISA, Ap 25, 2013 - concern over large amounts of anti-biotics being used in fish farms to fight Infectious Salmon Anaemia (ISA) which is thought to have never left the Los Lagos and Aysen regions. http://www.thefishsite.com/fishnews/20061/concern-over-chiles-antibiotic-use-isa-cases-not-reported

22. Chile, ISA, Apr 18, 2013. Sernapesca has begun an intensive inspection of all farms north of the Aysen region which has recently had two outbreaks of Infectious Salmon Anaemia (ISA). http://www.thefishsite.com/fishnews/19994/sernapesca-surveys-farms-north-of-aysen-for-isa.
21. Tropical Third World fish farms, a variety of diseases. This important, far-reaching paper shows the deadly result of fish farm diseases in tropical countries that cannot take complete industry disease kills. The use of antibiotics is leading to antibiotic resistance in diseases. http://www.scidev.net/en/agriculture-and-environment/fisheries/news/disease-threatens-aquaculture-in-developing-world.html?utm_source=link&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=en_news. Martin Krkosek adds that, as a precaution measure, areas of coastal waters should be designated no-farming zones in order to protect other sectors such as fisheries, tourism, and wildlife outbreaks in aquaculture.
20. Canada, BC, Grieg Seafood, furunculosis outbreak at hatchery, leading to a cull. 4Q write down of NOK 43 million. Grieg and Marine Harvest are losing money in BC.
19. Scotland, 2012. More than 8.5 Million. Scottish Environment Protection Agency. Main disease: amoebic gill disease. 13,627 metric tons of dead fish had to be disposed of by 230 fish farms along the west coast and on the islands, compared with 9717 MT in 2011 and 7159 MT in 2010.

11. Jan 10, 2013 Chile, Marine Harvest, 110 days of production of smoked salmon had listeria. Marine Harvest announced a recall on close to a third of a year’s worth of production. Destined for Sam's Club a Walmart brand.

10. SCOTLAND: July, 2012 This three page government PDF lists the diseases found in fish farms: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Resource/0039/00397960.pdf. The list includes Marine Harvest and the SSC.
Some of the diseases are: vibrio, infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN), moritella viscosis, salmonid alpha virus, haemorrhagic smolt syndrome, flavobacteria, bacterial gill disease, epitheliocystis, amoebic gill disease, cardiomyopathy syndrome, ichthyobodo.
9. CANADA: BC, July 22, 2012. Reported by the Chilliwack, Progress: “If PRV has been found in a Cultus Lake sport fish [cutthroat trout], it could be contributing to the failure of the lake’s sockeye population to return in abundance,” says Routledge. The virus may be linked to other diseases found on fish farms, he said, such as the heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI), which hit Norwegian salmon farms and can kill up to 20 per cent of infected fish.
Provincial fish pathologist, Dr. Gary Marty, noted that 75% of farmed fish tested had the PRV virus. 2% died.
See: http://www.theprogress.com/news/163480656.html.
8. SCOTLAND: Reported by Undercurrents: Scottish Salmon Company (SSC), the UK’s largest independent salmon producer, is cutting its production forecast from 25,000 metric tons to 22,000t, as it continues to encounter problems with amoebic gill disease (AGD). See:
http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2012/11/29/ssc-cuts-2012-salmon-harvest-forecast-on-disease-issues/#.UNZM-ayQmSo. Dec 22, 2012.
7. CANADA: In the past year, as well reported in Canadian media, fish farms in BC have been found to have serious viruses: ISA, HSMI, IHN and Kudoa among them. ISA has also been found in Nova Scotia, and New Foundland. the NL case is doubly sad as this is a pristine ocean with fish farms only being 'welcomed' in in the past year.
ISA in NL: July 13, 2012: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/story/2012/07/13/nl-delay-destroying-farmed-salmon-infected-713.html

6. Chile: Dec 24, 2012 Farmed salmon are very susceptible to disease. Vicente Castro from Chile, defended his thesis on June 29, 2012 entitled “Aerobic exercise training for improving robustness of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)” at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. His supervisors were Senior Researcher Dr. Harald Takle from Nofima and Professor Dr. Ståle Helland from the Department of Animal and Aquacultural Sciences and Nofima.The chief benefit of cardio training is reduced susceptibility to diseases.
See: http://www.thefishsite.com/articles/1446/aerobic-exercise-gives-more-robust-smolt.
Note that the in-ocean, closed Agrimarine system has a directed current, and this makes the fish 'exercise' and also helps move them to maturity sooner.
5. IRELAND: Sep 4, 2012: Fish farm feces cause algae blooms that in shell fish harvest have lead to 300 severe human illnesses. "SBB supports fish farming but only in Closed Containment Systems." " In a statement issued on the release of the last closure orders by the Marine Institute, SBB said ‘‘While fish farming is not the only cause of the record breaking blooms, the scientific evidence makes it clear that open pen fish farming in these Bays with their poor circulation of water must come to an end’’.
See: http://www.thefishsite.com/fishnews/18125/record-algae-blooms-linked-to-fish-farms.
4. Norway, Dec 17, 2012 Thesis of Koestan Gadan. Stress causes increased amount of cortisol in farmed salmon and this makes them susceptible to discease, in this study IPN, infectious pancreatic necrosis. Stress can be as simple as the density of fish in fish farms and has been the most costly disease found in Norwegian fish farms for many years.
Koestan Gadan has studied
the consequences of stress on the innate immune defence system of the
salmon and how it makes the fish more susceptible to disease. She chose
the IPN virus (infectious pancreatic necrosis) as a model virus for her
research. IPN is the cause of considerable losses in Norwegian salmon
farming and has for many years been the most frequently diagnosed
disease for this fish.

3. Canada, a new case of ISA in NF, Dec 20, 2012. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has confirmed the presence of the Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA) virus at an aquaculture site on the south coast of Newfoundland and Labrador.
See: http://www.fis.com/fis/worldnews/worldnews.asp?l=e&country=0&special=&monthyear=&day=&id=57706&ndb=1&df=0.
2. Canada, ISA, Dec 2012. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has confirmed the province's second outbreak of infectious salmon anemia this year. This latest outbreak of ISA, which can kill fish but is not harmful to humans, has occurred at a Cooke Aquaculture facility in Hermitage Bay, the CFIA confirmed on Tuesday.
In July, (2012) 450,000 salmon were destroyed following an ISA outbreak at a Gray Aqua facility on Newfoundland's south coast, causing a loss of $10- to $13-million in sales.

1. Marine Harvest faces anti-monopoly charges in Scotland:
http://www.heraldscotland.com/business/company-news/salmon-giant-caught-on-european-competition-hook-as-deal-nets-36-of-scottish-production.19729303.
Marine Harvest has so far bought 49.5% of Polish-based Morpol, although it is hoping to buy the rest of the company in the coming weeks. Morpol's Scottish salmon farms are concentrated in Orkney and Shetland but its main business is salmon smoking, most of which happens in Poland.
The deal will mean that four of the big five salmon producers in Scotland are controlled by Norwegian interests, leaving the Edinburgh-based Scottish Salmon Company as the only exception. Comment: this is what fish farms do around the world.
