USAF effectively helps control parasite infestations.
As a professional fish farmer, you know better than anyone that parasites pose a major threat to the health of your stock and the quality of your products. Parasites such as sea lice, Trichodina, and other single-celled pests can stunt the growth of juvenile fish, cause diseases, and lead to lower yields and higher costs.
Parasites spread rapidly through water circuits and contact with contaminated water. In aquaculture, they often have free rein, and in recent years, infestations in fish farms have increased significantly. By the end of 2024, the average in Norway was over 0.3 adult female lice per fish, according to the Norwegian Veterinary Institute. Diseases caused by parasites result in the loss of millions of tons of fish production each year.
To prevent such revenue losses, traditional chemical treatments are still commonly used. However, these treatments have important drawbacks: they promote the development of resistance and place a significant burden on the environment.
Our ultrasonic technology eliminates these drawbacks. Using powerful sound waves, we physically break down parasites and their larvae in the water, leaving harmful infestations no chance to develop.
Thanks to our technology, several fish farms have significantly improved their yields. In recent years, we have conducted various successful trials, including tests at a large fish farm in Norway. Through our distributors, trials are also ongoing at shrimp farms in Thailand and Indonesia. Additionally, our distributors are collaborating with a Scottish university to develop solutions for fungal infections (Saprolegnia) during the salmon rearing phase.
Our method is chemical-free, low-maintenance, and safe for both fish and the ecosystem.
With field-tested results, USAF is the partner for sustainable parasite control in modern aquaculture. By respecting the natural balance while targeting parasites effectively, we contribute to a future-proof, economical, and environmentally friendly operation.
