Are You Sure You Want SVC Testing?
If your fish have SVC, (Spring Viremia of Carp) APHIS will kill them all, and quarantine your pond. They may indemnify you, however, there was never any money allocated for this. I recommend NOT testing or permitting testing, for SVC. The disease is VERY common in the US (almost endemic) and accounts for dozens of fish deaths each year. Yes, probably dozens.

The Israelis stopped KHV infections with heat and had to REINFECT the fish. Why can't anyone see the OBVIOUS in this? Here's a study that would prove every concept AND obviate the need for a million-dollar KHV vaccine!
