Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - Dr Gideon Mordecai is a Research associate with the Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries at UBC. He is also the author of more than 20 scientific publications, the most recent of which reported the PRV1a virus in 70% of the 56 fish farms they studied.

Cortes Currents asked Dr. Mordecai,”Fish farms are claiming that BC's PRV1 isn't deadly for wild salmon. Is that true?”
