Inspection reports

Case Number: 2020-0346

Download Fish came onto site w/b 13/07/2020 from Inverpolly Hatchery. Fish will be moved onto Invasion Bay and Maclean's Nose
Wk48, leaving this site fallow.
Fish have been vaccinated with Alphaject m6 and PD1 as well as against Pasterella skyensis. Post-vaccination bath treatments ongoing using Formalin and Cress.
Water very peaty so hard to see the fish. No fish hanging near the surface and once nets were lifted all fish looked to be behaving normally with no signs of disease or physical damage. Fish removed and sampled for vmd appeared in very good condition with no external or internal signs of disease. [Original PDF]

Case Number: 2023-0504

Download Site is stocked with organic fish that came on from Inverpolly (FS0264) and non-organics sourced from Inchmore (FS0226).
Organics are reported to be performing well. The non-organics have been impacted by Saprolegnia, attributed to issues with filtration at the hatchery.
Elevated mortality in wks42 and 43. Attributed to vaccination losses and fungal infection.
Fish have been vaccinated with Micro6, Micro1 PD and Pasturella skyensis.
Clinical signs of PKD were observed in fish sampled on 18/09/23, however fish behaviour and mortality trends did not raise concerns at the time. Prevalence will be closely monitored.
Dead fish and waste from the site is now incinerated on site. Culls are stored in IBCs at the shorebase before being collected by Billy Bowie and taken to Duranta, Middlesborough.
The majority of fish were difficult to observe as they were sitting deeper in the water which was very dark in colour as a result from high volumes of rain in recent weeks. Fish that were observed at the surface were infected with Saprolegnia and fungal growths were prevalent in every cage of fish stocked from Inchmore. Organics have not been so badly affected.
Staff were on site at time of inspection treating non-organic stock with Pyceze and Formalin. Moribunds and mortalities were actively being removed from the cages following treatment. Fish are due to be transferred to sea in the coming weeks.
Fish sampled for VMD appeared in good health externally and internally and food was present in the gut of all fish. [Original PDF]
