Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA), a highly contagious virus that resulted in the 2007/08 collapse of the Chilean salmon farming industry, as well as problems in other salmon farming regions, has been detected for the first time in the North Pacific. Viruses like ISA are known to mutate and the presence of this disease could potentially decimate wild salmon runs in British Columbia. It is imperative that the Canadian government act immediately to locate the source of the disease and stop it from spreading.

Basically the end of salmon would also mean the end for orcas as well.
