The route through the system.

Five steps from untreated to treated sector. The water flow carries the fish the whole way.

01
Untreated sector
The pen is divided into two separate sectors: untreated and treated. The fish are crowded gently in the untreated sector, whose volume shrinks steadily as the fish are moved across into the treated one.
02
Suction inlet
The ejector pump draws the fish into the channel and carries them gently to the treatment module.
03
Delousing
Controlled passage past camera and laser, where the fish are treated, counted and their biomass documented.
04
Outlet
After treatment the fish continue straight into the treated sector.
05
Treated sector
The goal of the operation: a sector that only treated fish enter. Its volume grows steadily as more fish are pumped in.

The pen is divided into sectors and the fish are moved gently between them. Ballast control removes the need for winches.

Fish are pumped gently, without harmful contact with moving parts.

Every fish is inspected and documented. Only the louse itself is treated - not the whole fish.

The full sequence in one film: crowding, transport and delousing in context.

We move lice control out of large, stressful treatment operations and into a controlled, gentle process in the pen itself.

The aim is for the overall reduction in stress to remove the need to starve the fish before treatment.

Wellboat operations may also become redundant.
