Site has been destocking through harvesting. Worst affected cages have been targeted first. Harvest ongoing and site will likely be fallow by the end of the year.
Weekly lice counts have remained relatively low since input, although the site has been treated to prevent lice counts increasing. Site received thermolicer treatments in wk17, wk25, wk26 and wk28 and a hydrolicer treatment in wk30. Alphamax bath treatments were done in wk29 and wk32, but the site manager has reported that the addition of cleanerfish has significantly helped reduce and keep lice numbers low.
Combined cleanerfish mortality since input (July 21) is at 2%. Cleanerfish observed during site inspection appeared healthy - no cleanerfish moribunds or mortalities were observed across the site.
The majority of the fish on site appeared in good health and were active. 3 mortalities and 8 moribunds were observed across the site, 5 moribund fish were removed for diagnostic samples.
