Well my thoughts are with Kentaro and his family and staff as the word gets out. I hope it will be understood that we are all victims in a sense so that there is no assessment of blame only a focused effort to eliminate the cause.

Regarding the "other Sakai"....you don't suppose other fish farms would be interested in the genetics that has spawned some AJS Champions recently and might have gotten fish from SFF do you? I think it would be mistaken to suspect that any aquisitions would not have been handled and QT'd with the utmost care. Breeders know the seriousness of what an event could do to their way of living .

One of the things I learned as a bencher from the Miller-Morgan review was my towel I carried thru my belt that I wiped my hands on after dipping in the disinfectant after each contestant's koi were processed, had to go. I felt as long as my hands were clean but NO! they had us using paper towels each time that could be discarded
