Great Lakes fish hit by spreading VHS virus
A damaging virus spreads through Great Lakes minnows and other fish after winter stress and post spawning. Viral hemorrhagic septicemia, believed to originate in Pacific Northwest salmon waters, spreads via ballast water from ships. Authorities impose quarantines and bans, with 37 species restricted and eight states affected. The Erie region plans move to halt transfers by January 1 as the Tionesta trout hatchery shifts to Fairview.
