Sprangers discusses viral outbreak in salmon hatchery with News Center
Sherrie Sprangers, a professor of biology at the University of Maine at Machias, spoke with News Center Maine about the euthanization of 155,000 young salmon at a Downeast Salmon Federation hatchery after the discovery of a deadly virus. “It’s definitely more, way more than a drop in the bucket,” Sprangers said. “In four years, when we’re expecting adult salmon to come back — they won’t be there.”
