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]
