Underwater laser-wielding robots hunting parasites. Definitely not what I expected AI to be doing. Crazy stuff!

A good use for ai. De-licing fish using chemicals seems to be an ordeal

Honestly, wish we could get a solution like this for pine park beetle in the rockies. Lasers and fire... yah, probably not a good idea, but drones to hunt and kill would be incredible. But with the lack of a sufficient biological control that kills off the invasive species, not sure what else to do.

You mean that we actually have frickin' sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their frickin' heads?

Flied lice?

Incredible moral hazard. Fish farming is a moral abomination. The fish get get lice and parasites because they are packed in tight conditions. This will allow farms to do nothing about those underlying deficiencies, which means fish get to live longer more miserable lives.
Fish farming generally is unethical and harmful to the environment. The fish we eat are carnivores. We still need to feed them, which means we either need to farm or trawl their prey.
The only way this tech would be good is if it becomes a regulatory mandate and pushes up the cost of production and decreases demand.

Flat out wrong. A lot of fish have parasites, and wild salmon has higher incidence of lice
They're saying that salmon farms are not driving greater incidence of parasites and lice in their wild counterparts.
It doesn't say that farmed salmon have fewer incidence of sea lice than their wild counterparts.

“Targeting both juvenile chum and pink salmon, the study found sea lice were still prevalent in young salmon, at numbers as high or even greater than the presence was when salmon farms were still operational”
