Sea lice control using LG Sonic ultrasound technology
Published by Tristen Gunther, Marketing Manager at LG Sonic in Case Studies
In May 2017, a Consortium, coordinated by LG Sonic, started the LiceSonic research project in order to develop a smart and environmentally friendly method to control sea lice in open finfish production.
The research project has now advanced to finalizing integration between the monitoring software and hardware.
The goal of the project is to develop an environmentally friendly solution for sea lice control.

I am aware that and have seen ultrasonics kill crab embryos, at the right frequency, but not crabs. I have to presume that there is also a life stage of the sea lice (embryonic perhaps most likely) that is vulnerable to ultrasonic extermination because the cell walls are thin enough to be breached. Other aquatic organisms will also be vulnerable to destruction depending on their live cycle and stage of growth. Having these organisms pass through an ultrasonic screen will be a more effective method of control than an open pen scenario.
