Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS) is a viral disease that affects many species of fish and is responsible for large scale fish kills in both inland waters and the Great Lakes. In an effort to make the public more aware of how to stop the spread of this disease, state, local and federal agencies are working together to provide information through advisory notices and press releases.
