Fish came onto site from Finfish, Inverpolly (FS0264).
Fish will be moved off site next month. Organic stock is going to Loch Duich (FS0248) and the non-organic stock will be going to Seaforth (FS1042).
Current stock on site has done really well with very little mortality since input. Staff have observed a slight increase in mortality in the last 2/3 weeks attributed to fungus as a result of the fish smolting.
Few fish observed with fungal lesions across the site (<10). These were not moribund and were active in the water.
