Fungus is often seen after vaccination, but fish are not treated until there is a significant burden.
For transfers, the fish are transferred on to wellboats through gravity fed pipes. To ensure that there are no escapes, the pipes are flushed before leaving the facility, and secondary screens are in place in the pipes so that any remaining fish are contained.
One batch of parr are sent to Knock hatchery for ongrowing.
