Remote inspection conducted by , supervised by (20/04/2022)
Site inspection, VMD sampling and diagnostic sampling conducted by , supervised by (27/04/2022).
During site inspection fish were deeper in the water, displayed good shoaling behaviour and responding well to feed. Dead baskets are available on site, mortalities are removed using an ROV with basket. This was reported to be very effective and worked well across sites. The work boat with ROV was operating on neighbouring site at time of inspection.
The general population of these cages appeared healthy. Approximately 30 moribund or lethargic fish were observed in cage 4 and approximately 20 moribund or lethargic fish were observed in cage 6 at time of inspection. These fish displayed varying degrees of eye damage and lesions to the flanks. One fish observed hanging vertically, however, unable to catch as closer to centre of cage. The site underwent a physical treatment for sea lice on 01/04/2022.
A routine health inspection was conducted on 05/04/22 by CAS health team, no significant results identified. [Original PDF]

Sealice: Lice levels have remained below 2 for the majority of the time period checked. Treatments carried out have successfully reduced lice levels.
During physical inspection of the site, visibility was poor but fish observed were shoaling deeper in the water column. Fish exhibited good feed responses. Due to rough weather 3 pens could not be observed penside so were observed by boat. A fish from pen 12 was taken for VMD sampling. [Original PDF]
