Electrolicer will be the first system that can combine sea lice removal with fish welfare during treatment. The system has been designed by Ace, a company with extensive experience in electro-anaesthesia. Water is inserted into the pipeline to create suction that draws fish calmly from the cage into the tube. Electrolicer then holds the fish in a calming low-voltage electric field that relaxes the muscles, and low-pressure water gently removes lice and eggs. Electrolicer also reduces expenses associated with adopting this technology. The solution can be used on an existing, generalised work boat, instead of requiring the purchase of a dedicated sealice removal vessel. By avoiding chemicals and favouring multi-modal treatments within the system, Electrolicer also addresses treatment resistance in lice. Ace is backed by sustainable investment group Aqua-Spark, whose mission is to invest in companies using technology to improve sustainability in aquaculture

Electrolicer将是第一个可以在治疗过程中将联合收割机海虱去除与鱼类福利结合起来的系统。该系统由Ace公司设计，该公司在电麻醉方面具有丰富的经验。水被插入管道中，以产生吸力，将鱼从笼子平静地吸引到管道中。然后，电解器将鱼放在一个平静的低压电场中，放松肌肉，低压水轻轻地去除虱子和卵。Electrolicer还减少了与采用这项技术相关的费用。该解决方案可以在现有的通用工作船上使用，而不需要购买专用的海冰清除船。通过避免化学品和有利于系统内的多模式治疗，Electrolicer还解决了虱子的治疗阻力。Ace得到了可持续投资集团Aqua-Spark的支持，该集团的使命是投资于利用技术提高水产养殖可持续性的公司
