The innovative solutions being used to tackle sea lice on salmon farms 
By Inken Tiedemann NO Source: thefishsite 10/30/2024

Despite ongoing research and development efforts, sea lice continue to be one of the most significant challenges in the salmon farming industry. Growing awareness of the environmental impacts of traditional aquaculture practices and increasing demand for improved fish welfare are putting pressure on the industry to adopt more sustainable practices.
 

As a leader in salmon aquaculture, Norway has enacted some of the strictest regulations for sea lice management. In 2017, the Norwegian government implemented the so-called “traffic light system” (TLS) with the aim to promote the growth of the industry while improving environmental sustainability by monitoring the impact of sea lice on wild salmonids. The TLS regulates production capacity in Norway's 13 production zones, based on estimated sea lice-induced mortality of wild salmonids, assigning traffic light colours: green for those regions that can increase capacity, red for those regions that face reductions. Farmers in zones repeatedly facing reductions are under significant pressure, consequently, the TLS has become a subject of contentious debates.
