The Columbia River watershed in B.C. has been declared an infected area for whirling disease, a parasite that causes deformities in fish and has a high mortality rate.

The agency says activities that now require permits include the transport of used aquaculture equipment and the movement of fish or sediment samples for testing purposes.
