BKD confirmed on Devon trout farm 21 June, 2006 - THE presence of Bacterial Kidney Disease (BKD) has been confirmed in a trout farm in Devon. Defra has issued an Order under the Diseases of Fish Act 1937, prohibiting all movements of fish to and from the infected Fish Farm and Fishery. The disease was found in a trout sample during a routine fish health-monitoring visit to the farm. Fish Health Inspectors are currently examining the source of the outbreak and investigations are ongoing. Whilst the disease is considered serious and notifiable under EU law, it is not widespread in Great Britain and occurs only sporadically. BKD has no implications for human health. www.fishfarmer-magazine.com is published by Special Publications. Special Publications also publishes FISHupdate.com, FISHupdate magazine, Fish Farmer, the Fish Industry Yearbook, the Scottish Seafood Processors Federation Diary, the Fish Farmer Handbook and a range of wallplanners.
