Lice dynamics at the farm-site level

SimLice was founded in 2024 in the Faroe Islands, building on more than a decade of research into salmon lice dynamics.

By combining scientific expertise with practical aquaculture knowledge, we have developed a state-of-the-art management tool that models and forecasts lice dynamics at the farm-site level.

The tool supports salmon farmers in planning production cycles — including when to stock fish to sea, apply treatments, introduce cleaner fish, or deploy lasers. When used correctly, it can reduce the need for interventions, lower overall lice levels, and minimize the impact on fish health.

Particle Tracking: Visualizing Lice Movements in Coastal Waters

Our advanced particle tracking technology models the journey of salmon lice, helping farmers and researchers understand how lice disperse and interact with the environment. By simulating water currents and biological behavior, we provide actionable insights for effective lice management and healthier aquaculture.

Explore our visualizations below to see how SimLice leverages scientific modeling to forecast lice movement and support smarter decisions in coastal farming.

Simulate Lice Growth and Optimize Treatment Timing

SimLice empowers salmon farmers to model lice population growth within their farm sites, taking into account environmental factors and farm management practices. Our simulation tools allow you to test different treatment strategies and timings, helping you identify the most effective moments to intervene.

By virtually applying treatments at various points in the production cycle, you can forecast their impact on lice levels and fish health. This data-driven approach supports smarter planning, reduces unnecessary interventions, and promotes sustainable aquaculture.
