Unhatched eggs not yet measured out as still given stragglers a few extra days. 10 comp hatch units with 8 trays each (80 trays total) 60 trays stocked. A few weeks fallow in between batches planned for cleaning and disinfection in January 2021.
Current batch of Ova arrived 20/11/2020. No treatments applied in the hatchery. Hatchery has it's own recirculation system, separate from the system for the fry unit. Single biosecure entry point to the unit. Plan to eventually have 4 inputs of ova to the unit every year to have fish ready each quarter, however implementation depends on the progression of building works and refurbishment of the other units (smolt).
Due to biosecurity concerns used sites own thermometer.
