Abstract
Objective:
To determine whether or not aquabirnavirus is present in Victorian fish hatcheries.
Procedure:
Milt and ovarian fluids were collected from brood stock at 12 hatcheries and cultured in two sensitive cell lines for the presence of viruses.
Results:
No cytopathic effect was detected indicating the absence of virus.
Conclusion:
There is no evidence of infection with aquabirnavirus or Epizootic Haematopoietic Necrosis virus in Victorian fish hatcheries.
