7.5.6 Farm Procedures to prevent spread of disease

Foot baths and hand washing facilities will be placed at both of the entries to the
juvenile and grow out system. Foot baths and hand washing facilities will be
available at the entrance to the quarantine system.

If the facility is to be managed by 1 person at any time, the grow out facility and
juvenile system must be maintained before entering the quarantine system. If it is
required to go back into the grow out or juvenile system then the employee must
change into clean clothes and put dirty clothes into laundry baskets supplied. The
employee must wash themselves down with disinfectant wash shoes in foot bath and
then enter the facility.

Water is never to be swapped between systems and discharged; water from
quarantine system must be discarded into approved waste disposal system. Water
can be moved between juvenile and grow out if there are no signs of disease in
either part of the facility.

All employees are to stay away from trucks bringing in replacement water and at no
time are water truck drivers allowed inside the facility.

When loading market sized fish into transport trucks the fish must be taken outside
to be loaded and then the vessels containing the fish are to be washed with chlorine
and left in the sun for 24hrs before bringing back into the facility, at no time are the
delivery drivers allowed into facility.

8 Feed

Feed will be sourced from Big Nutrition in Brisbane. The food they import is Ewos
which is a Norwegian company that has a feed plant in Vietnam where our food is
produced. The food is tested for Land animal based protein so it only contains plant
and marine based protein. We have been using this food in our pilot system and we
have achieved excellent food conversion ratios (FCR) and specific growth rates
(SGR)

9 Waste Management
9.1 Waste Water Management

We have obtained approval from Unity Water trade waste department to discharge
our waste into the sewer connection. This discharge will have analogue monitors to
monitor flow rate and salinity. The information will be accessible by unity water by
GPRS to allow them to monitor the discharge 24/7. We will also be monitoring and
logging the data using our own monitoring system.
