Inspection reports

Case Number: 2022-0184

Download Site has stocked salmon and lumpfish. Salmon are from Landcatch (Ormsary), but transferred onto site from Gob a Bharra
(FS0683) and lumpfish are from Otter Ferry and were input on 02/03/2022.
SAV was detected in pen 9 and 10. Pancreas Disease (PD) then was also found in pen 6. Feeding was slightly reduced with low levels of PD found across the site. Pen 9 and 10 are back on their feed fully and feeding well. Mortalities remain low even though PD has been detected. Vaccine has been noted to be helping. During site inspection, very few fish were seen hanging around the pens.
All harvests will be conducted as livehaul.
Lumpfish are culled at harvest but new procedures will see lumpfish being reduced after each cycle.
Lumpfish mortality: from 06/06/2022 : 0.47%, 43
3.63%, 348
4.84%, 488
1.28%, 131

Download Four treatments using freshwater and FLS in the current cycle. Last FW and FLS treatment from 07/10/24 to 08/10/24
One treatment using Slice in April 2024
SealPro nets installed on site.
Mortality removed onto mortality removal vessel (named "Turas"). Morts ensiled onboard vessel and taken to Dundas
Chemicals via road lorry. Mortality removal boat visits 4-5 sites in the area, disinfecting between sites.
Some grilse observed in the cages whilst inspecting stock on site.
Site representative stated that many plankton blooms were observed over the summer when feeding was reduced to keep the fish deep in the cages, away from the plankton closer to the surface. Mortality remained low during each plankton bloom. Site staff are trained to take samples and identify plankton. Several species of plankton were observed in each bloom. [Original PDF]
