Paperwork completed remotely on 17/05/2024.
Site inspected in a calm sea state, weather was overcast and visibility of the stocks was good. Only two stocked pens left at
Turness following a recent transfer of fish to Hollywood Breeding Centre (FS0614) for stripping on 14/05/2024. From the physical inspection of the stock, fish were observed shoaling well and responding positively to hand feeding. Approximately a dozen fish in pen 3 were observed with physical damage to the snout, site management explained that this was likely abrasion damage caused by fish colliding with the base of the pens hamster wheel which had visible marine fouling present. The stock in pen 3 recently went though a 7 hour FW treatment (24/05/24) for lice and gill health. Very few lice were observed on these fish during the inspection. The stocks in pen 1 were observed as having an elevated level of sea lice infestation, the site have planned a 7 hour FW treatment for pen 1, due to commence 29/05/2024. No physical damage associated with sea lice were observed on these fish.
The last routine fish health visit conducted by the company vet was completed 04/05/2024. Prominent heart pathology suggestive of cardiomyopathy syndrome wad identified in 2 of the fish sampled. Fish that were sampled during this fish health visit were removed from cages 2 and 4 which have since been transferred and are now empty. No clinical signs suggestive of
CMS was observed in any of the stocks during the inspection of the site.
No treatments have been used at the site since the date of last inspection. As it’s a Broodstock site, no counts for sea lice have been submitted as broodstock populations are subject to visual sea lice checks from the pen side. [Original PDF]
