Download Fish came on from Barcaldine Smolt Unit via Fishnish. Input at Fiunary in wk21 2021. Four treatments have been conducted since input: Salmonsan and Azasure in May/June 21, Alphamax and Paramove in September 21. Fish are performing better this year and have good gill scores and low lice numbers. CMS has been confirmed by PCR and histology samples taken in
January 22, but not causing significant mortalities.
Wildcaught wrasse were input in June 21 and have been performing well to keep lice numbers low. Original input was 24,900
(6,150 mortalities since input (24%).
Site using Optomease this crop as anaesthetic for sea lice counts (alternative to Tricaine). Active ingredient is Benzocaine.
Site is doing live haul harvests. Harvesting is ongoing and fish are taken to South Shian for processing.
Fish were sitting deep in the cages but those that were observed appeared active and in good condition, with the exception of a few individuals who had lesions on their flank. These fish were also quite active and were not moribund, so no attempt was made to remove them with a handnet.
Fish sampled for VMD appeared healthy externally and internally. [Original PDF]
