All species of fish sold for stocking in the waters of New York State or imported for the same purpose must be tested for the pathogens specified in DEC’s revised emergency regulations. Specifically, all species must be tested for VHS, Spring Viremia of Carp Virus, Furunculosis, Enteric Red Mouth, and IPN. In addition, Salmonids (salmon and trout for example) must be tested for Whirling Disease, IHN, and Bacterial Kidney Disease. Testing for Heterosporis is no longer required.
