One major threat facing today's salmon aquaculture is the rapid growth of sea lice. The parasite has harmful effects on fish health and welfare and it seriously affects the economy of salmon aquaculture. It is estimated that the growth of sea lice salmon caused a significant decrease in the harvest in the Atlantic, threatening the sustainability of the sector. The EU-funded DeBug project proposes a new technology that mechanically delouses salmon. The pioneering technology removes up to 100 % of the parasite. It is environmentally and salmon friendly since it doesn't use chemicals or medicines. The project will develop the mechanical delousing system by introducing a new web system to test the technology in real market conditions.
