BREEZE is a revolutionary and environmentally friendly concept for fish health management, under development in response to the needs of salmon farming for new approaches and effective methods to improve the management of sea lice.The salmon farming sector is losing approximately US$1 billion each year due to ectoparasites such as sea lice. Their resistance to existing treatments, increased industry and consumer awareness of fish welfare, and a growing demand for treatment methods with minimum environmental impact are the principal drivers behind the project.To further support the successful scaling of sustainably managed fish farms, Aqua Pharma Group has formed a consortium with Pulcea Ltd, Scottish aquaculture research and development company, and the prestigious Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The diverse and unique skillset will enable the development of an innovative new concept, code-named “BREEZE”.BREEZE rises to the challenge of increasing sea lice tolerance to bath treatments, while improving fish welfare and experience, validating, and minimising environmental impact, and helping farms avoid the financial losses they suffer as a result of sea lice.BREEZE takes existing hydrogen peroxide (oxygenated water) bath treatments and introduces an acoustic technology to counteract sea lice tolerance to treatments. BREEZE will ensure that little or no residue remains following release, making it suitable for use even in environmentally sensitive regions.The acoustic technology has proven to be especially effective against gravid female sea lice and their eggs and has been shown to be safe with no pathological or behavioural side effects for the fish.

BREEZE是一个革命性的、环保的鱼类健康管理概念，正在开发中，以满足鲑鱼养殖对新方法和有效方法的需求，以改善海虱的管理。鲑鱼养殖业每年因海虱等体外寄生虫而损失约10亿美元。他们对现有处理方法的抵抗力，行业和消费者对鱼类福利的认识不断提高，以及对环境影响最小的处理方法日益增长的需求，是该项目背后的主要驱动力。为了进一步支持可持续管理养鱼场的成功规模，Aqua Pharma Group与苏格兰水产养殖研究和开发公司Pulcea Ltd以及著名的挪威科技大学（NTNU）。多样化和独特的技能组合将使一个创新的新概念，代号为“BREEZE”的发展。BREEZE上升到增加海虱耐受洗澡治疗的挑战，同时提高鱼类福利和经验，验证，并尽量减少对环境的影响，并帮助农场避免因海虱而遭受的经济损失。BREEZE利用现有的过氧化氢（含氧水）浴治疗，并引入声学技术来抵消海虱对治疗的耐受性。BREEZE将确保释放后残留物极少或没有残留物，使其即使在环境敏感地区也适用。声学技术已被证明对怀孕的雌性海虱及其卵特别有效，并且已被证明是安全的，对鱼类没有病理或行为副作用。
