Name: Whirling Disease Decontamination Confirmed Red Zone Label
Display Field: ZONE
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: This layer represents the Whirling Disease Decontamination Confirmed Red Zone Label and is not visible beyond the scale of 1:27,733,946.
The Whirling Disease Decontamination Zones are boundaries created for Government of Alberta field staff in an attempt to minimize the chance of spreading whirling disease. Whirling disease poses significant risks to the conservation and viability of native species and their habitat. This threat often has both ecological and economic impacts to fisheries, water management infrastructure, tourism, and local communities. Fish diseases (including parasites and pathogens) represent a substantial threat to the health of Alberta’s fisheries, particularly to species at risk.
In August 2016, whirling disease was detected within Banff National Park for the first time in Canada. Fish samples in the Bow River (main stem and some tributaries) and the sites within the Crowsnest River have subsequently tested positive for whirling disease. As of April 2017, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) formally declared the Bow River and Oldman Watersheds to be ‘infected zones’. Permits will be required from CFIA to move fish or fish culture equipment from the infected area, as well as between the infected zone and the adjacent zone.
The Whirling Disease Decontamination Zones contain 5 zones of inherent risk:
1) Confirmed Red Zone – zone tested positive of whirling disease
2) Suspect Red Zone - zone tested for whirling disease but not yet confirmed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)
3) Irrigation Red Zone - a zone tested positive for whirling disease but applies only to irigation canals
4) Yellow Zone – zone that represents high risk waters for introduction/spread of whirling disease due to one or more of the following criteria: whirling disease susceptible species, high recreational activity/use and access to water, and high population base
5) White Zone – zone that does not have any confirmed high profile of whirling disease and represents lower risk due to lower population base and less activity/use.
