Once installed in a cage, the NS Collector actively combats salmon lice. Around the clock.
The sea lice collector installs quickly, either inside or outside the cage. Once in place, it continuously salmon lice at every stage of the louse’s life cycle – from larvae to mature lice. During crowding and delousing, it collects any lice that detach from the fish, thus preventing the louse from finding a new host.
This is NS Collector:
The NS Collector consists primarily of a pump, which filters large quantities of seawater through a specialized filter.
NS Collector is a complete system, consisting of an underwater unit, a cable, a cage anchor and a control cabinet with integrated communication. You can easily install the louse collector yourself. There is no need for any specialized tools and equipment beyond what is commonly available on a service vessel.
Prevention and active removal
When the NS Collector is used daily, the louse is caught before it has the chance to attach to the fish, thus reducing the louse concentration. The filter’s ability to trap anything from louse larvae to mature lice has been thoroughly documented by Møreforskning. In addition, the filter collects algae and other debris contributing to poor water quality.
This continuous collection helps keep the concentration of lice down, thus also reducing the need for delousing procedures.
