Nodavirus Workshop II
Portsmouth, NH
December 8, 2004

Nodavirus outbreaks continued to hamper prospects for cod aquaculture in the Gulf of Maine, and affected hatchery stocks of cod in both the U.S. and Canada in 2004.

This workshop was established to take stock of what has been learned since the first Nodavirus Workshop held Nov. 27, 2002 at Memorial University, and to compile a new list of research objectives aimed to aid the industry to ultimately better manage the disease.
