Start year 2010 End year 2013 Funding (€) € 876,743 Website http://lusedata.no/for-naeringen Summary The main goal of the project was to develop new knowledge for efficient and secure bathing treatment against salmon lice in both cages and well boats. To get a good result race towards this goal, a project group was put together with researchers from different professional environment and industry partners from both breeders, medicine and equipment suppliers. The following sub-goals were outlined in the final project description: 1) Create new knowledge about electricity and mixing dynamics for distribution of drug and oxygen during bathing in cages. 2) Incorporate knowledge about the mixing dynamics in cage de-lice in fluid dynamics modelling (CFD-computational fluid dynamics). Create a tool for development of systems that can improve the admixture of drugs and oxygen below bath treatment. 3) Acquisition of physical, physiological and behavioral data in cage and tank studies with fish. 4) Contribute to improved de-lice and interference systems in well boats. 5) Contribute with an empirically based guideline for safety for fish, escape safety and HSE during bathing treatment. 6) Establish a field-tested counting method suitable for evaluating treatment efficiency.
