Inspection reports

Case Number: 2021-0139


Download AGD was the biggest health challenge last cycle so gill swabs are being taken and analysed by PCR every 2 weeks.
Lumpfish arrived on site in October from Otter Ferry and were stocked at 6%. 4 lumpfish mortalities observed across the site, not fresh dead so no diagnostic samples taken. Lumpfish mortality for April was 7.2% attributed to handling.
Fish on site came from Inchmore and Loch Lochy and have been vaccinated against furunculosis and IPN.
Site doing live and deadhaul harvests. Harvest boat was on site during inspection.
Majority of fish were sitting deep in the water so were difficult to observe. A few fish were observed with physical damage but were not moribund or lethargic.
Fish sampled for VMD appeared healthy.
