According to a report in the Chronical Herald, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is carrying out preliminary tests into the potential outbreak although it has not revealed details of the salmon farm.
If the disease is confirmed the agency is expected to post the details on its website in early July.
Several hundred thousand farmed salmon were destroyed earlier this year after an outbreak of the disease at an open-pen salmon farm outside Shelburne Harbour owned by Cooke.
