I know that in 2013, 5% of the fish in the Skeena and the Lower Nass were infected with this piscine reovirus. However, if we want to answer that question, we need a director of wild salmon. We need somebody to pick up the genomic profiling tools. If you were to sample all the fish in British Columbia as they come and go on this coast, their immune systems would light up at intervals. You could go back to those spots and see what caused that, and you could try to fix it. Then the next year you can ask the salmon again, “Did we make it better or not?”
We could answer the questions in the Nass. This genomic profiling is also phenomenally powerful in hatcheries. This is from Dr. Kristi Miller-Saunders's lab at the Pacific Biological Station, in Nanaimo. This is an enormous tool for restoring wild salmon that is simply not being picked up.
