ISA virus outbreak in Aysén salmon farms

Overview

The National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service (Sernapesca) has activated surveillance and control protocols in Chile’s Aysén region following the detection of the Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA) virus at the Izaza cultivation center.

To mitigate the risk of propagation in the aquaculture sector, authorities have implemented sanitary zoning through Exempt Resolution No. 2901/2026, which establishes both an infected zone and a surveillance zone. These measures include restrictions on fish movement, increased sanitary sampling, and heightened biosecurity requirements. Sernapesca personnel are conducting field inspections to monitor harvesting, transport, and unloading operations to ensure compliance with regulations.
