Peak in mortality Week 42 2022 not reported to FHI - 17.4% (259 fish) - site was destocking at the time, last mortality event report was the week before stating "PGD, site destocking, should be fallow week 42". This has now been reported.
Monthly wrasse mortality - Oct - 4.26% (994 fish), Sep - 1.83% (435 fish) and Aug - 1.04% (249 fish). October increase is due to the recent peroxide treatments and being unable to move wrasse out of the cages.

Treatments - last SLICE treatment 17/07-23/07, peroxide 12/09 to 19/09 and 09/10 to 13/10/2023.

During the physical inspection of the site, site staff were out collecting the daily mortality and no moribund fish were observed, even in the pens where mortality had not been collected yet. No issues with containment were seen, pens were extremely tidy and all nets tightly secured. Fish were shoaling deeper in the water column and feed responses observed were good.
VMD samples collected from pens 1, 7 and 8. Upon examination both externally and internally, fish appeared healthy with only eye damage noted for the fish from pen 8. An average of 2 caligus were observed on fish caught for VMD. [Original PDF]
