When the virus was first detected in Japan in April, it was initially thought to be caused by the common cold, but scientists have now found that the virus also spread to fish in the wild.
They have since concluded that it could be a new strain of the coronavirus, which was first isolated in the United States in late 2014.
There is no known vaccine for the virus, so if you catch it you must be very careful about handling fish and other live animals.
But there is one simple, cheap solution to keeping fish clean: a fish cleaner.
Dr Andrew Smith, a veterinarian at the University of Aberdeen, UK, has been using a specialised filter to filter fish from the Japanese ocean for more than a decade.
He said he had to get used to the new species of fish that appeared in the nets he was using.
“I’m used to using fish filtration in Japan as a standard for fish filtrate,” he said.
“But it was not always so.
There are some fish species that are very large and hard to handle.”
He added: “Fish filtrations were actually used to kill other fish before they were killed by the disease.”
Now that fish are out in the sea and I’ve got a filter that I can use, I think I can catch the fish before it goes into the sea.
“It’s like a little hedgehog for fish.”
Here’s how to use the filter The filter is made of a special material called “filtration gel” which is usually made from cotton or cotton wool.
The gel has a low water content and has a “filterable” label on the inside.
The label indicates how many times it has been used.
“If you remove the filter with a spoon or spatula it breaks down the gel into a fine dust,” Dr Smith said.
Once the filter has been removed from the fish, it is left to sit on the filter and remove it when it comes to the surface.
Once a fish is cleaned, the filter is washed with water.
This is then placed into a disposable plastic bag.
The filter then goes back into the filter bag, which is then taken to the fish cleaner to be dried.
Dr Smith explained that he would usually use the disposable bag to clean a few fish in a row.
“I have found that a lot of fish in Japan are very hard to clean so that’s why I would just leave it on the fish until I had finished cleaning it,” he added.
How to avoid catching the virus Dr Smith’s solution has been effective at reducing the spread of the virus.
“A lot of the time, we see people catch the virus from catching fish, but they don’t catch it from eating them,” he explained.
“So you’d be better off washing the fish that you caught with the filter first, and then washing the fillets afterwards.”
For now, Dr Smith has not tested his fish cleaning solution on the virus and is waiting for data from other countries before deciding how it would be used.
But he said the solution was not yet tested on the common disease in the UK.
“The UK has not had any cases of coronaviruses for many years, so it’s very important we do not make the same mistakes as the Japanese,” he noted.
“
This is why we don’t let people handle fish in our house, and why we have been using this filter to clean our fish.”
