‘Unique’ device repels lice
A DEVICE that repels sea lice before they reach salmon cages has been trialled in Norway by a new company called Blue Lice.
Details of the prototype are still under wraps but the device is positioned outside the cage, reported kyst.no last month.
Blue Lice chief executive Karoline Sjødal Olsen said: ‘This test gave us such a good indication that this can work that the next step is to run a larger pilot test in cooperation with a farming company and, more preferably, a research institution.
‘There have been tests carried out on similar concepts with some of the factors previously, but it is the combination of these that makes our solution work and makes it unique. Some attraction factors are known and some unknown to the industry.’
