FISH FARMING TECHNOLOGY #2THERMOLICER: SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION FOR SALMON FARMS

摘要

The Thermolicer has arrived in Scotland and trials have been underway in Shetland. Scottish Sea Farms (SSF) will cooperate with other farmers in Scotland sharing the use and knowledge of using the Thermolicer with them. There is a clear aspiration toreduce the need for medicinal treatments in the fight against the naturally occurring parasite and SSF continue to make investments to achieve this. Ralph Bickerdike, Scottish Sea Farms Head of Fish Health, commented: "Sea lice is a challenge for all fish farmers in most salmon producing areas. At Scottish Sea Farms we intend to be part of the solution to this challenge. Our work with SAIC and other industry partners in this area has already reaped huge benefits through our work with wrasse and lumpfish - varieties of cleaner fish.
