From the physical inspection of the site, fish appeared to be in good condition. Fish were shoaling well and responded positively to hand feeding, observed during the capture of specimens for VMD sampling. A wider than normal variety in fish size was observed during the inspection of the stock. The site was diagnosed with PD earlier in the production cycle which had a varied impact on the feeding which appears to have slowed the growth of some fish. The site has since recovered and fish are back taking their full feed. Mortality has remained below the reporting threshold for the duration of the cycle.
Fish sampled for VMD were healthy with no clinical signs of disease observed internally. [Original PDF]
