Fish came onto site from Glenfinnan at the beginning of May 2020.
Wild caught wrasse on site were caught around Mull, Loch Melfort and some were imported from Ireland (not since last inspection). Wrasse were stocked at 4% however, site staff are not observing many in the cages.
Wellboat was on site during inspection conducting FW treatments. Fish in all cages appeared in good health with minimal physical damage observed across the site. No moribunds were observed.
Some lumpfish observed across the site but not many. Those that were observed appeared to be in good health and no physical damage was noted. Site due to receive a lumpfish input next month from Anglesey.
Wrasse mortality for the site was 13% since input (May 2020). Lumpfish mortality was 30% since input (May 2020)
Fish sampled for VMD appeared healthy.

Water dark and fish deep in the water, when fish observed these looked to be in good condition. Feed response observed in several pens. Fish sampled for VMD appeared healthy. Cleaner fish observed near the water surface. A few pens with a few dead cleaner fish observed. A few were trapped in the fold of the nets that are used with swim throughs. Site manager says they try and organise doing these when the tide pushed the fish off the net. 14% Lumpfish stocked.
Previous cycle lice above reporting threshold, following treatment falling below CoGP. [Original PDF]

Fish came on from Loch Arkaig and have been performing well since the last inspection, with harvests brought forward due to the fish reaching harvestable size quicker than expected. No mortality events since the last inspection and mortality at the site has been low. Sealice counts at the site have also been low for both average adult female leps and caligus. No medicinal treatments have been done since the last inspection for sealice. FW and FLS were last on site in April followed by a thermolicer at the beginning of the month with good clearance recorded for both.
There have been no imports since the last inspection.
Cleanerfish mortalities for the last 4 weeks:
Lumpfish - Wk19: 918 (1.81%), Wk18: 1,877 (2.36%), Wk17: 2,501 (3.05%), Wk16: 1,787 (2.36%) Wrasse - Wk19: 359 (4.27%), Wk18: 1,489 (15.04%), Wk17: 2,538 (20.41%), Wk16: 1,792 (12.59%) Site is currently doing deadhaul harvests to Blar Mor. Cleanerfish are being removed and culled with no re-use planned. FMA is not fallowed synchronously, however a RA is in place. As a mitigation strategy against sealice transfer between the APB and the other operator in the FMA, the APB make their thermolicer available to the other operator prior to any introductions of salmon smolts.
Fish are vaccinated against Furunculosis, IPN, Moritella, Vibriosis, Pastuerella and Yersinia.
Fish on site were sitting slightly deeper in the water but water clarity enabled observation. The population on site appear to be in good physical condition and were active in the cages. No moribunds were observed in any of the cages. One darker fish was observed but due to it being the only one across the site, in combination with no other clinical signs observed, this was not sampled for diagnostics. One other fish was observed with seal damage. The fish sampled for VMD was in good condition Site paperwork and inspection completed by , accompanied by for audit.Additional Information Page 1 of 22025-0200 [Original PDF]
