Abstract
Impact statementThe original paper provides a suggested pathway of investigative criteria to determine viability and pathogenicity of agents detected by molecular methods in fish for the purpose of interpreting biological significance for fish health management. This response defends this position regarding the requirement of certain scientific facts to determine the importance of a particular molecular discovery.
