Enhanced moribund removal; Functional feed. Business contacted for additional information (response received 25/4/25): Physical damage as a result of handling when fish were transferred from FS1362 at the tail end of February. As fish have smoltified, some of these fish with physical damage are succumbing to those injuries, with some fungus also developing. Fish being managed through monitoring smoltification carefully and using functional feeds to support them, in addition to increasing salinity to control fungus. Following wk above reporting criteria.
Business contacted for additional information. FHI to monitor.
