A Norwegian company named Stingray Marine Solutions has deployed over 3,500 AI-powered submarine drones to protect salmon farms from parasitic sea lice. The autonomous units patrol fish pens 24/7, using lasers to identify and zap the lice without harming the salmon, replacing harsh chemical baths previously used for delousing.
This high-tech solution now protects over 112 million fish, representing 20-25% of Norway's farmed salmon. The laser system improves fish welfare, reduces mortality, and avoids environmental and resistance issues associated with chemical treatments. It represents one of the largest commercial AI deployments in Scandinavia, showcasing a novel application of robotics and AI in agriculture.
