In Norway, laser weapons are being used to remove sea lice from farmed salmon. The Stingray Laser System uses cameras to scan the fish, identify lice, and then deliver a laser pulse to kill them.

    Although it’s technically not lice, this is called swimmer’s lice in many languages.

      Seems to be something unrelated to this here. That system could never target such tiny organism, let alone have and impact at the flow speed. These fish are also not any of their hosts.

      flatforms, and thier eggs ar epretty microscopic, the lasers would be ineffective here. best not to swim in places where the flatworm exists.
