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 将是第一个在治疗过程中将海虱去除与鱼类福利结合起来的系统。该系统由在电麻醉方面拥有丰富经验的 Ace 公司设计。将水注入管道中以产生吸力，将鱼从笼子中平静地吸入管道中。然后，电解器将鱼置于平静的低压电场中，放松肌肉，低压水轻轻地去除虱子和卵。 Electrolicer 还减少了与采用该技术相关的费用。该解决方案可用于现有的通用工作船上，而无需购买专用的海冰清除船。通过避免使用化学品并支持系统内的多模式治疗，Electrolicer 还解决了虱子的治疗耐药性问题。 Ace 得到可持续投资集团 Aqua-Spark 的支持，该集团的使命是投资利用技术提高水产养殖可持续性的公司
