A new science paper published in the journal Science Advances, strongly suggests Piscine Orthoreovirus (PRV) was likely transported to British Columbia from Norway by the salmon farming industry between 1981 and 1997.
The paper also shows PRV's spread through the B.C. salmon farming industry. They have two lines of evidence that shows transmission is continually occurring between farms and wild pacific salmon.
