  • The virus is named Viral
    Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS)

  • The VHS virus kills both sport and
    rough fish species

  • Lake Superior is currently free of the
    virus

  • The fish virus and other invasive
    aquatic species are carried in ships’
    ballast water

  • Lake Superior will soon be infected if
    all ballast water is not disinfected

  • Equipment and disinfectants are
    both affordable and readily available
    for installation on all carriers
    entering Lake Superior

  • Laws are in place to prevent the
    spread of this virus using
    disinfectants

  • Izaak Walton League of America and
    Save Lake Superior Association will
    take legal action against the
    responsible federal or state
    agencies for failing to enforce these
    laws if necessary
