Freshwater treatment finished end of November which had a positive impact on gill health and mortalities.
Hydrolicer permanently stationed in Loch Fyne with targeted treatments administered.
Treatments with Salmosan and freshwater 26/10/2020 to 2/112020, good clearance achieved. slice and hydrolicer also been used this year.
Some fish observed lethargic in the pens but could not be removed due to startle response. Some fish with physical damage also observed, attempts were made to remove these but also could not be caught. Site manager reported that any moribund fish are removed as soon as is possible with the pen surface checked when removing mortalities. [Original PDF]

Download Waste is uplifted by Billy Bowie and transferred to Dundas Chemicals for disposal.
Mortalities between 2020 WK35 and 2020 WK48 were caused by PD and AGD combined. Fish were treated with fresh water which brought down mortalities. These were reported to the FHI at the time.
Sea lice - 1.18 AF 2020 wk38 Sea lice levels remained under the CoGP recommended intervention level, with the exception of
WK38, which had 1.18 AF recorded. Hydrolicer was onsite soon after and numbers reduced.
Seal pro nets will be installed next year, tensioning of nets has been increased, although there are limited issues with predation on site.
Cleaner fish Mortality - 9233 since input. Majority of fish were "black losses" due to fish dying, but not being recovered in mort basket.
VMD fish looked healthy when opened.
Due to covid-19, paperwork was inspected remotely on 06/05/2021 and the physical inspection took place on the 11/05/2021.

Download Previous cycle fallowed out 14/06/2023. Fish input to site wk39 2023 from Migdale, Harris Lochs and Heb Smolt.
Came on with fungus, initial high morts on input - ~11% in the first 12 days. Risk assessesment in place for transfer of fish with fungus from all stock inputs.
Transport records observed. No issues.Movement of wrasse noted.
Caligus not deemed an issue on site. From treatment records, last slice treatment was conducted on 23/10/2023, with all pens done on the same day.
Fish sampled for VMD were in very good condition and were seen to be healthy. No moribund fish were observed during the site inspection.
2023 (previous cycle/wrasse mortality: black losses):
Wk5, 1703, 11.66%

Download Fish on site are a mixture of Migdale, Langavat and Hebridean Smolts. Fish were performing well until the end of last year when a large proportion of the fish (~25%) began maturing. Maturation combined with CMS and Furunculosis resulted in elevated mortalities for the last quarter of 2024. However, the site manager has reported that maturation has dropped significantly (down to ~2-3%) and mortality on the site is beginning to reduce. Mortality prior to wk 44 2024 had been consistently low throughout the production cycle.
Overall health of fish on site is improving. Gill health is good, some PGD is still present but average scores are low. Lice counts are increasing on site and an Alpha Max treatment has been scheduled for next week.
Fish were sitting quite deep in the water so were difficult to observe, but no moribunds was observed in any of the cages.
There were some lethargic fish observed across the site, but these could not be caught with a handnet and no other clinical signs of disease were observed. Several grilse were observed in most of the cages with physical damage attributed to maturation.
The fish sampled for VMD appeared healthy externally and internally. Roe was present internally. [Original PDF]
