Description
SPG was a two-year project funded by EU Horizon 2020, aimed at creating a preventive method to combat sea lice infestation in fish farms.
Tangible results: The project developed an innovative chemical free technology based on electric pulses to prevent sea lice infection in salmon and improve fish farming. The technology has been patented and is currently being delivered to a few customers on the coast of Norway.
Application/relevance: The SPG system therefore provides the industry with a solution to a number of major environmental challenges, including exploitation of aquaculture, boosting the sustainability of existing locations and allowing access to new areas.
