The Victoria TimesColonist reports that salmon farmers and officials are countering
claims by a biologist by the name of Alexandra Morton who says a
newly identified virus is causing a debilitating disease in farmed
Canadian salmon.
He's accused of
sensationalizing unscientific findings and causing unfounded concerns
after declaring that tests on supermarket salmon, that found evidence
of piscine reovirus (PRV) were linked to heart and skeletal muscle
inflammation (HSMI).
