Underwater laser-firing drone used to fight lice in salmon farm

Well this is pretty cool

When you picture laser-wielding robots, equipped with the latest machine vision algorithms, what setting do you imagine them operating in? Salmon farms in the Norwegian fjords, of course.

Currently being employed in the North Sea fjords in Norway, along with a select few lochs in Scotland, a smart underwater drone developed by Stingray Marine Solutions is designed to help deal with the problem of sea lice. Didn’t know that salmon had lice? Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

Wonder if it works on humans with lice.

I've read they pump them salmon with so many chemicals (Norway) it's a wonder they don't die, nevermind anyone that eats them ... an overpriced food, probably because of all the chems.

All fish are susceptible to lice, especially when they congregate in large numbers as they do on a fish farm.
