Sea lice
Sea lice are naturally occurring, minute parasites that attach themselves to the skins, fins and gills of fish. Infestation can occur anywhere; along coastlines, around fish farms, in vessels transporting live fish and at fish slaughterhouses. The most commonly used treatment methods only temporarily paralyze the sea lice, thereby allowing future infestations. A Salsnes Filter

Sea lice are naturally occurring, minute parasites that attach themselves to the skins, fins and gills of fish. Infestation can occur anywhere; along coastlines, around fish farms, in vessels transporting live fish and at fish slaughterhouses. The most commonly used treatment methods only temporarily paralyze the sea lice, thereby allowing future infestations. A Salsnes Filter system separates the sea lice (and their eggs) from the water to be properly disposed of. The almost 100% reduction in sea lice improves water recirculation, resulting in higher fish survival rates, and contributing to lower operational costs.
