Snorkel technology to reduce sea lice infestations: efficacy depends on salinity at the farm site, but snorkels have minimal effects on salmon production and welfare
Sea lice are a critical health issue in most salmonid farming regions. New cage-based
technologies can prevent infestations from occurring, such as the 'snorkel', which introduces …
