The fundamental problem is that current methods of sea lice control are to ineffective and unsustainable. Development of effective and sustainable methods is urgently needed. The innovative approach of biological control addresses the basic need of the producers of Atlantic salmon to remain financially competitive with regard to A. salmon aquaculture within the EU and the world markets.The innovative approach will reduce or eliminate the reliance on chemical sea lice control giving the producers a distinct competitive edge with regard to ethical and organic labelling of their products.
