Overview
“All the production sites were stocked with just one year class of fish.”
This report marks the beginning of the second year of reporting fish health management information, specifically looking at sea lice.
During this quarter 179 sites were stocked with salmon, approximately 75% of the active sites in Scotland. All the production sites were stocked with just one year class of fish, as required by the Code of Good Practice for Scottish Finfish Aquaculture.
The Code of Good Practice requirements on sea lice management reflect Integrated Sea Lice Management protocols which were pioneered in Scotland and are now used internationally.

Leaving a site fallow at the end of a production cycle is a proven tool in fish health and sea lice management. During this quarter, all production sites were fallowed before they were restocked with fish. While the Code of Good Practice requires a minimum of four weeks fallowing, the average for all sites containing fish in this quarter was actually 19.9 weeks. This is excellent practice in sea lice management.
Fallowing
Information Exchange
“This represents day to day co-ordination between three companies and 16 farm sites.”
CASE STUDYDuring this quarter all sites in the north west of Scotland (north of Ullapool) agreed to exchange “real-time” fish health and production information using the SSPO fish health management system. The area covers the Kennart to Gruinard and Inchard to Kirkaig North & South regions. This represents day to day co-ordination between three companies and 16 farm sites.
The reporting of fish health management allows for greater understanding amongst neighbouring sites and the co-ordination of farming activities. There is now extensive communication and co-operation amongst farms in large areas of Scotland, where salmon farming takes place.
SSPO continues to share the information contained in the fish health management reports with Scottish Government scientists at the Marine Laboratory.
For all sites stocked last year 99.2% were fallowed
for four weeks or longer prior to fish being returned to the farm. This ensures
high health status.
99.2%
On average the fallowed sites were left empty for 19.9 weeks.

LiceThe mild weather during the autumn and winter of 2013, which continued during the first three months of this year, provided ideal conditions for sea lice. As a result farmers have treated proactively against lice.
