Main objective: To generate knowledge about a new treatment method that uses chitinolytic enzymes to prevent and control salmon lice. Sub-goals: 1) Finding the best enzymes and combinations of enzymes, as well as finding optimal reaction conditions, can be used in the cages and maximize the efficiency of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) (LPMO is a group of enzymes that actively break down chitin). 2) To document the effectiveness of chitinolytic enzymes against salmon lice so that we can make recommendations regarding treatment. 3) To document how chitinolytic enzymes affect the environment, wild fish and shellfish.
