This project looks at an alternatives approach to freshwater treatments of Amoebic Gill Disease. A ‘snorkel’ was designed and commissioned; enabling us to observe the success of ongoing treatments. This entailed the commissioning of a small-scale desalination unit of approximately 50m3 day and using the output to create a so called ‘freshwater lens’ within the test cage. This concept exploits the fact that fresh water will ‘float’ on top of seawater in a discreet layer and not mix, if not disturbed by stirring agents such as wave action. It was hypothesised that the fish can then ‘choose’ to treat themselves by selectively occupying this layer until their gills have shed the amoeba.
