Alberta fish farmer suing province over impacts of ‘failing to control’ whirling disease

His business dates back to 1961, but Alberta Trout Inc. (formally Allen's Trout Farm) hasn't hatched fish since 2013. That's when the Elbow River's floodwaters destroyed much of Allen's property and the ponds from which some 250,000 fish were sold every year.

Allen's property was quarantined by the province shortly after the flood, after the natural aquifer where he grows his fish was contaminated with whirling disease.
