Throughout the production process, farmed salmon are subject to many stress events, including crowding and general handling, as well as treatments for sea lice and other parasites. The stress caused by these events has an impact on the fish due to lost feeding days, reduced growth potential, and an increased risk of secondary infections that may result in lower final harvest weight and decreased quality. Recommended to be used strategically before and immediately after any planned stress event, BioMar aims its new preventative salmon healthcare supplement – SmartCare Calm – to help farmers reduce the risks posed by stress to…

Well, it’s not the worst of winters, but here where I live, winter fishing is almost non-existent. At least in the mountains and more southern climates, fishing continues.I’ll open this thread with an encouraging email I received from my occasional fishing partner, Hokie Paul.Although I’m not sure if I was with him, I think I was when he tagged and released a 12″ redfish in Mobjack Bay here in Chesapeake on 8/4/22. That fish was reportedly caught in Owls Creek in Va. Beach on 2/5/24 and measured 25″. The fisherman keeps the fish for dinner.Not bad growth for 550 days,…
