Lismore leads the way:Award winning site depends nn team effort to maintain standards

摘要

LISMORE North farm, off Appin in Loch Linnhe, includes two sites with 14 cages in total. SSF have around 2.5 million fish in the whole Linnhe system. At the site we visit there are eight Fusion Marine Oceanflex pens of 80m circumference and 25m deep.Ali Macaulay, site manager, said after the fish are discharged from a well boat their weight is recorded, 'we have a look at them' and then they start feeding, by hand at first.'We get to know the fish,' he said, although there are about 17-18,000 in each cage. Every week the team assesses the feed, watching the fish on screens in the 'house block', as well as in the pens.
