Though the virus is hardy, it can be inactivated by a number
of methods. Appendix A lists chemical concentrations
and application times to achieve inactivation of the virus.
All equipment and tanks, raceways, and ponds should be
disinfected. Ponds that have housed infected fish should
be fallowed (left unstocked) for a period of time to be
determined with regulatory advisory. Re-stocking with
non-susceptible species or sentinel, young fish from SVCfree
farms is recommended.
