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.

I’ve always thought a stupidly expensive but cool and helpful device would be a tabletop mosquito/fly/wasp killer that shot lasers at said insects. I’m very happy to see there is an underwater version that seems to be really effective

Can you image what kind of cult these fish will create?

ALL HAIL THE PILLAR OF CLEANSING

Frank was zapped! HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE!

Haha, that is such a cool use for laser technology and also the fish look like they are clubbing. Thanks fo sharing :)

Fish farms are one of the most 'boring dystopia'-moments in existence. They are bad for the environment, breeding disease like it is their main job, they are cruel as fuck (imagine factory farming could layer their animals on top of each other) and most fish end up dead. It is funny how people instantly close their eyes when we are barbaric as fuck towards "food"-animals, like they do have no place on this planet but on our plates. The same disgusting mindset that has let us to another mass extinction.

Now THIS is the cyberpunk reality I want to live in!

TIL: There is sea lice.

New terror unlocked.

it seems like a human created problem int eh first place too. when you farm salmon you have to do it in enclosed area, so this unnaturally density of the amount of fish per area is quite high, and parasites, and infections are spread quite easily. Alantic salmon is usually the only ones that can be farmed, other salmon species are much more difficult. wont affect parasites like parasitic cnidarians.

say AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRGGGHHH

Why is it I go straight to “some fascist government is going to set this up on the street and just laser undesirables”

Given that the (Norwegian) Fish Farms on the coast of BC almost annihilated the natural salmon due to the lice and other ecosystem damage, something to destroy the lice might be a little bit helpful. Although it might only be helpful to the penned fish and not the surrounding environment.

That's pretty clever! Quite the footage

TIL fish can get lice

We are the Borg, resistance is futile.

TIL there's lice in the sea...

Awesome, but it's hard to imagine what this must seem like from the perspective of the fish.

Something fishy about this Star Wars episode.

Cool we're finally in the future.

A little underwhelming.

Participle... she is dangling.

Hopefully it would mitigate the spread into wild populations.

This on a small crawler to remove invasive species. Bad idea?

Boston Legal don’t see this coming

Excessively mild! Thanks!

AI? AI?! Stonks go up

Nobody ask them about the whales

Cool footage, can I ask where you got it from?

Is the sound not working for anyone else?

kill?

Oh, sea lice. I read it as sea ice.

MFW people invent laser weapons to shoot parasites off penned animals instead of just not eating fish.

People will do literally anything but stop eating animal products.
