Fewer treatments with automatic lice counting

With daily automatic lice counts and two-week forecasts, Aquabyte’s system can reduce the number of lice treatments during the production period.

– There is a big difference between manual lice counting once a week and daily automatic updates from the Aquabyte system. In periods like now, where the lice situation changes incredibly fast, it is not good enough to base decisions about expensive treatments on lice data that is five or six days old, says Gunnar Berg, Product & Quality Manager at Aquabyte.

Data-driven lice planning

In addition to daily lice counts, the Aquabyte system also provides lice predictions. In short, the system calculates the expected lice development one and two weeks ahead and indicates the probability that lice counts will exceed the permitted limit during these periods.

– With daily automatic lice counts and two-week lice prediction, fish farmers can reduce uncertainty and optimize their lice treatment strategy. Data-driven planning allows you to choose the right timing, plan capacity, and select the appropriate treatment method for the fish. Better decisions reduce both the number of treatments and their negative impact, says Gunnar Berg.
