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.
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.
Although it’s technically not lice, this is called swimmer’s lice in many languages.
Seems to be something unrelated to this here. That system could never target such tiny organism, let alone have and impact at the flow speed. These fish are also not any of their hosts.
flatforms, and thier eggs ar epretty microscopic, the lasers would be ineffective here. best not to swim in places where the flatworm exists.
Don't look up what replaces a fish' tongue, then...
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
AAAAAAAAARRRRGUUGGUGHHRHEGEHHHHH
Why is it I go straight to “some fascist government is going to set this up on the street and just laser undesirables”
Except it clears acne and keeps people clean-shaven. Unfortunately it doesn't work for some minority subset due to skin, hair color, or some other overlooked bias. Ultimately leading those individuals to fail job interviews and such. Leading them to a life of meager success compared to the majority.
I can see a day when we the non-rich have tattooed barcodes, implanted chips, and god knows what else about our persons, we will be scanned to death, system would choose who to zap (kill) or just persecute in some manor.
I had this job where a idiot director thought about forcing us workers to wear wrist bands with barcodes, our timecards have same barcode, everything we do is tracked by barcodes, thankfully was rejected.....but upper management considered it to much for us workers comfort 😞
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
We are the Borg, resistance is futile.
TIL fish can get lice
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.
It’s a trap!
Cool we're finally in the future.
A little underwhelming.
A boring dystopia
Participle... she is dangling.
we aren't reading our writing latin so we don't need to follow latin rules for tenses that don't exist in English
Hopefully it would mitigate the spread into wild populations.
This on a small crawler to remove invasive species. Bad idea?
Like, humans?
That's the Terminator movie, were not there yet.
Nobody ask them about the whales
Boston Legal don’t see this coming
Excessively mild! Thanks!
AI? AI?! Stonks go up
Cool footage, can I ask where you got it from?
Here's more info about the company https://www.dnv.com/assurance/food-and-beverage/kvaroy-fiskeoppdrett-digital-aquaculture/
As a pioneer in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain and laser technologies, Kvarøy has emerged as an industry leader in sustainable fish farming.
bingo!
kill?
Oh, sea lice. I read it as sea ice.
Is the sound not working for anyone else?
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.
Hey man can't just go around and tell people to not kill unnecessarily. Nobody like being called out, even if true. That is like really not nice and stuff.
Environment will be saved by capitalism, finding new, and good ways to exploit life on earth 👍 (/s)
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
They exist in trials. The human danger is too great though I think. If the laser thinks your eye is a fly for a split second, game over for vision.
screw that, we'll just wear sunglasses indoors and look supercool and mosquito free
So many ways to engineer out that hazard.
Last I understood was it's been patented 10 different ways from Sunday, and prototypes are just sitting on shelves, collection dust.
So now the fish are lice free, but blind? D'oh!
I think it wouldn't be a device to have on passively. Just something to turn on when you need it, like a vacuum. So you can just put safety glasses first.

2 days left to back. Get it while you can!
LOL, $600 for something that is unproven and has a high chance of being just a scam?
Neat! Though I’ll probably wait until people say it works well and doesn’t accidentally burn out your retina
