Inspection reports

Case Number: 2021-0390


Download Fish came on from Barvas Hatchery (FS0076) on 21st August 21. Stock originated from Langass Hatchery (FS0643).
Site will begin vaccinating fish with PD1 and Alphaject micro 6 w/b 08/11.
Mortalities are ensiled at the shorebase. The ensiled material is stored in sealed IBC's before being collected by Ferguson and transferred to the Scottish Water Horizons Bioresources Centre in Cumbernauld.
Mortality since input has been very low across the site, with 0.08% attributed to birds and 0.17% attributed to fungal infection.
Fish have received two treatments of Aquasen and Cress since input (first treatment 26-27th August, second treatment on 6th
September) in response to fungus.
Fish will be moved off site in Spring 2022 by Solway to Eughlam (FS1233).
Fish were very difficult to observe due to the dark peaty water combined with very dull weather. Fish were crowded to collect individuals for VMD facilitating observation of the stock. Fish that were observed appeared in good health and were very active, demonstrating a strong escape response.
Fish collected for VMD appeared healthy. [Original PDF]
