Inspection reports

Case Number: 2022-0124


Download Acts as nursery site for Salmon up to 1.5kg before they are moved to Ardessie and Ardmair. No harvests from this site.
Current stock from Loch Merkland and Loch Shin (Migdale smolt). Wild wrasse caught in Loch Broom.
The fish are currently on photoperiod, which seems to help diminish seal activity. Seal curtains also in place. The site experienced issues with heron predation in the winter so they have installed two bird scarers (long pole with moving fake bird attached), which appear to work well at deterring the animals.
The cloudy weather during the site inspection made it harder to see the stock, however good response was observed during hand feeding and the fish coming up to the surface appeared healthy. No moribunds or dead fish were observed on site. All fish sampled for the VMD looked healthy both internally and externally. No sea lice observed.
The site has never had to use therapeutic treatments to control sea lice and have managed to achieve a level of zero adult females throughout the production cycle using cleanerfish alone. [Original PDF]
