Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) was isolated from rainbow trout, Onchorhynchus mykiss, brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis, and brown trout, Salmo trutta, at two fish culture facilities in Alberta, Canada. In 1989, a large-scale fumigation with formaldehyde gas was used to eliminate the virus from the buildings and equipment at Sam Livingston Fish Hatchery, Calgary and Raven Brood Station, Caroline. The sealed fumigation area was first pressure tested. Then, two open 200-L metal barrels, distanced from any flammable material, were placed inside the fumigation area. Each contained enough potassium permanganate for the fumigation. A metering pump was positioned outside the fumigator and connected through a valve to a container of water and one of formalin. Plastic tubing delivered the liquid to the barrels, which each contained a temperature sensor. The speed of the formalin delivery was regulated so that the reaction in the barrel containing the permanganate could be kept at a temperature of app...
