Lumpfish don't cope well with crowding, FW treatments or the Hydrolicer. Looking into options to exclude lumpfish from treatments but currently no feasible way to remove them.
PD diagnosed in stock on site, some issues with AGD & CGD. Sea lice have been low all cycle. Freshwater treatment currently ongoing. [Original PDF]

Download Fish on site from West Strome (2020 S0), Loch Huamavat, Geocrab Hatchery and Clachan Hatchery (2020 S1). Delivery from
Clachan Hatchery was delayed and higher mortalities post transfer in pen 3 due to fungus. No issues with other inputs.
Site will stock with mix of lumpfish and wrasse at later date.
Fish have had Slice treatments in March and May. Only used Salmosan once during last cycle during transfer of some fish to another sea site. Hydrolicer treatments have been improved with clearance rates above 90% and less physical damage of fish.
New hydrolicer due to arrive with company later in the year which can process 300T per hour.
Site reported tuna and seal in pen 7 on 11 October 2020 and reported to FHI (MSe111020SAL1). Hole believed to have been caused by tuna and seal entered pen through the hole which was repaired. No fish escaped.
The 2020 S0 stock is due to be thinned soon and will be transferred to Vacasay in the autumn to make room for grading of S1 stock.
Water dark and fish low, but no moribund fish observed. All fish sampled for VMD appeared healthy.

Stock origin is all hebridean smolts. Positive effects have been seen after freshwater and hydrolicer treatments. The north group experience the higher mortality on site, specifically pen 1, 2 and 3. In the south group, pen 13 is the worst affected currently. Pen 15 has been harvested out. Pen 14 also will be harvested out by January 2022. AGD is the overlying issue. In addition, low zinc levels has been identified in the population, compromising the skin health. New diet has been delayed as a result of weather; to aid skin.

Cleanerfish records:
Wk36 to Wk39 increased mortality as a freshwater treatment.

Mortalities disposed of commonly at whiteshore cockles. Due to high mortality, some have been ensiled on the wellboat
(Bakkanes).
In previous cycle (2020), tuna made a hole in the pen. Reported to FHI.
