42 Lice control ScaleAQ has since 2007 been working on chemical- and drug-free treatment solutions for the aquaculture industry. Sea lice have proven to be adaptable beings and are an ongoing challenge for fish farmers. However, they have a low level of tolerance for sudden changes in temperature. Since 2017 the Norwegian aquaculture industry in particular, has mainly used non-medicinal methods for delicing. The most commonly used method is thermal delicing. We supplied our first Thermolicer in 2014 following seven years of development. Since 2016, thermal delousing has been the most commonly used delousing method in Norway. Thermolicer is currently used by aquaculture operators in Chile, Canada, the Faroe Islands and the UK to help keep their lice situation in check. Full effect with zero chemicals The lice have a low level of tolerance for sudden changes in temperature. This fact is exploited by the Thermolicer where the fish are bathed briefly in lukewarm water. The lice die and fall off the fish, after which they are collected and destroyed. In use The Thermolicer can be fitted on board service vessels, wellboats and barges. Fish are collected and pumped through the Thermolicer and then back into the same pen, or into an empty pen. Along with the Thermolicer, you receive training and recommendations to ensure that you are able to treat the fish when necessary rather than being dependent on third parties. Capacity A standard Thermolicer is positioned in a 25 foot container. The length of the water trap is
