Yep this is true. One week will almost certainly kill it but two weeks is better for my concience I generally buy local fish but got a great deal on whole Alaska Salmon a few weeks ago. It's been in the freezer since then, not sure when I'm going to feed it.

The parasite is also found in trout and another fish that I can't remember the name of. They are the three types of Salmonoid fish
