Introduction
Just like humans and other wildlife, fish can get sick, too, and their illnesses can threaten entire populations and ecosystems.
Through a range of programs and our state-of-the-art Provincial Fish Disease Laboratory, the Alberta government monitors and tests for diseases of concern. This proactive work helps to prevent the introduction and spread of fish diseases and ensures a quick response to manage and contain any outbreaks.
