Business contacted: These fish were originally moved from Hellisay, impacted by gill issue. Proportion of fish were not recovering, but there are also a proportion that have recovered and are doing well. Bacterial infection (Moritella) has also developed on the site. Starting antibiotic (Florfenicol) treatment next week (wk9), 10 days duration. Treatments have been conducted for AGD. Large size variation within the pens. After the antibiotic treatment the fish will be graded and the remaining portion of fish that have not recovered from the initial gill issues will be culled.

Salmon mortalities in 2024 have been persistently elevated, a fw treatment loss occurred in week 2 (13305 (3.17%), with physical damage and seal predation the main cause of mortality until week 6 with 16256 recorded. Week 6 16594 (4.25%) was recorded in the main as fw treatment loss but gill infection (AGD) and physical damage also noted. Week 7 8921 (2.38%) were partly due to the treatment losses in week 6 but mainly attributed to bacterial infection (Moritella) which is recorded predominantly as the cause of mortality through to week 12 with 44723 recorded.
