TRAVERSE CITY -- Responding to industry complaints, the government modified restrictions on shipments of some live Great Lakes fish aimed at preventing the spread of a deadly aquatic virus.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service this week revised an order it issued Oct. 24. The revision allows some fish to be taken across state lines with proper documentation, under conditions that vary depending on whether the fish are meant for slaughter, research or other uses.
