Summary:
The commission should recommend that the various molecular biologists in BC, the US and Norway develop a code of practice and performance standards to address ISAV and other viruses. Another recommendation should be that testing laboratories be independent of the regulatory agencies and overseen by an independent scientific panel. A third recommendation should be that if there is even a small probability of a virus being present in the wild salmon population, existing fish farms be isolated from the migratory routes of wild salmon.
