Fish came on from Ormsary Hatchery (FS0681) during May and June 21, with an input from Mill Burn (Old Mill) (FS0831) in
June 21.
Fish were vaccinated with Micro6 and PD1 from the 12th-24th July.
Fish were all sitting deep in the water, which was very dark, and so they were difficult to observe. Individuals that were observed appeared to be in good health.
3 mortalities observed across the site but these were not fresh dead so diagnostic samples were not collected.
Fish sampled for VMD appeared healthy. [Original PDF]
