No issues noted on site, flat calm and excellent visibility, fish showed an excellent feeding response and were shoaling well.

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]

Pens 3, 5, 13 and 14 are in withdrawal for T.M.S
Last company health report (10/03/2026) had no significant findings - some fish with winter sores, some CGD.
Remote inspection carried out 13/03/2026. Remaining paperwork and physical inspection carried out 18/03/2026.
Physical inspection took place in adverse weather conditions. Each pen was inspected from the walkway but due to tidal conditions a full walk round each pen was not possible.
During the physical inspection, only one moribund was observed across the whole site and it had a small lesion on its flank.
Most fish were deep in the water column but a handful were seen leaping out of the water. No lice were observed.
One fish was removed from pen 12 for VMD sampling. This fish appeared healthy externally and internally. [Original PDF]
