Lice ‘fly trap’ wins innovation award.
A company that uses light to attract and trap sea lice before they enter a salmon pen has won Norway’s Seafood Innovation Award.
Blue Lice was selected from a shortlist of 11 finalists and was voted for by both the jury and the public.
“The winner tackles an enormous cost, welfare and reputational problem for the industry,” said Trude Jansen Hagland from NCE Seafood Innovation on behalf of the jury.
“Blue Lice started up in 2017, and since then has faced difficulties and recovered several times. This is a winning team who have had great faith in their innovation and have never considered giving up. They are now bigger and stronger than ever. Blue Lice is a worthy winner with enormous growth potential that we look forward to continuing with in the future.”
