Assessment of the risk to Fraser River sockeye salmon due to Piscirickettsia salmonis transfer from Atlantic salmon farms in the Discovery Islands area, British Columbia / C. Mimeault, S.R.M. Jones, J....: Fs70-5/2019-021E-PDF
"Fisheries and Oceans Canada, under the Aquaculture Science Environmental Risk Assessment Initiative, is conducting a series of assessments to determine risks to Fraser River Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) due to pathogens on marine Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) farms located in the Discovery Islands area in British Columbia (BC). This document is the assessment of the risk to Fraser River Sockeye Salmon due to Piscirickettsia salmonis on Atlantic Salmon farms in the Discovery Islands area, BC under current farm practices. This risk assessment was conducted in three main steps: (i) the likelihood assessment which includes four consecutive steps (a farm infection assessment, a release assessment, an exposure assessment, and an overall infection assessment; (ii) the consequence assessment; and, (iii) the risk estimation which combines the outcomes of the first two steps"--Abstract, page ix.
