Infectious salmon anaemia is an infectious disease of finfish. It is caused by the infectious salmon anaemia virus, which belongs to the family Orthomyxoviridae.

In Canada, ISA is a federally reportable disease. This means that all suspected cases must be immediately reported to the CFIA. The disease must be confirmed in a federal laboratory, under the National Aquatic Animal Health Program.
