Start year 2011 End year 2014 Funding (€) € 1,194,050 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/900711/ Summary Infestation of salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is, together with escape, currently the main challenge the salmon aquaculture industry in Norway is facing. Salmon have been found to develop higher infestation of salmon lice at the upper parts of the water column. Shielding the upper part of a salmon cage might thus reduce the level of salmon lice infestations significantly. The project aims to document the effect of such a principle.
The main objective of the project is to document the effect of a shielding skirt in terms of reducing salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestation on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in cages in addition to documenting how the skirt affects the environment in the cage, fish condition, and the cage's main components compared to a cage without skirt.
