Site only received fish last week so no mortality has been recorded
Site uses a flow through system for parr and two recirculation systems for the smolts.
Last import of ova came onto site in January 2020. Site has retained the heatlh certificate as required, but no longer intend to receive ova from outwith the UK.
Fungus, mainly saprolegnia has been observed on site, but is only present in low numbers and is being managed successfully with no significant mortalities.
Water was very dark during the inspection so was difficult to observe the fish. Those that could be observed, appeared in good condition with only a few individuals displaying signs of fungal infection. Some fin damage was noted in most of the tanks, but manager advised that this damage had come in on the fish but was being mitigated through the use of four feeders in each tank to reduce aggression/fin nipping. He reported that this had worked well and the damage to fins as a result of nipping had reduced since the fish arrived on site.
Site thermometer used for temperature due to biosecurity risk.
