Staying Close to Industry Practice Recently, the SimLice team travelled to Trondheim to meet with aquaculture professionals, researchers, and industry partners. Field visits like these are essential for maintaining a strong connection between scientific modelling and real-world farming conditions. While simulation provides powerful predictive capabilities, its value depends on how accurately it reflects operational realities. Direct engagement with farmers helps… SimLice at AQUA NOR

Moving from Reactive to Predictive Management Aquaculture has traditionally relied on monitoring lice levels and responding once thresholds are exceeded. While this approach has been necessary, it often results in reactive treatments that could potentially be optimized with better foresight. Simulation offers an opportunity to shift from reactive management to predictive planning. By modelling environmental conditions, biological behaviour, and farm… The Role of Simulation in Modern Lice Management

Addressing a Key Challenge in Aquaculture Salmon lice continue to represent one of the most persistent biological challenges facing modern aquaculture. Their impact extends beyond fish health, affecting operational efficiency, environmental sustainability, and the long-term viability of coastal farming operations. As aquaculture grows and regulatory expectations increase, the need for proactive, science-based lice management becomes more important than ever. Traditional… Introducing SimLice – Our Foundation
