Norway’s New Plan for Automated Sea Lice Counting

Is the future of sea lice management in Norway shifting toward automation? In this episode, we break down Norway’s latest push for mandatory automated sea lice counting, a move that could redefine how farms monitor and manage lice outbreaks. We discuss into key takeaways from the Norwegian Food Safety Authority’s new regulatory plans, insights from DNV’s latest report on automated lice monitoring, and Manolin’s latest analysis on the 2024 sea lice season, revealing how record-high temperatures contributed to a surge in lice infestations. But with more data, will farms actually see better outcomes—or just more regulation? Tune in for a sharp look at the intersection of technology, policy, and farm management. For more aquaculture insights, head to our Fish n’ Bits blog.
