Remote inspection conducted by , supervised by on 29/09/21.
The stock comes from October 2020 Stofnfiskur (Benchmark, Iceland) eggs, arrived in Mingarry hatchery (FS0145).
380,000 2021 S1 smolts were transferred to Tarbert South (The Scottish Salmon Company) in September 2021. 20,000 smolts were found dead upon the arrival of the wellboat. The suspected cause of death points to smoltification issues, even though the pre-transfer chloride tests proved that the fish were ready to go to sea.
100,000 fish remain on site split between two tanks. These fish will be transferred as 2021 S0 to Scotasay (TSSC) on the 19th of October 2021.
The site will then be stocked with the fish currently held at Loch A'Clachan (FS0627) after a 2-3 week fallow period.
The salmon were dipped at 1g, 5g, and 10g against ERM and injected at 50g with Alphaject 2:2 and PD vaccine.
The fish were then treated with formalin to prevent infections post vaccination.
An ERM outbreak during the summer was treated with a round of Florocol and a successive round of Aquatet.
