Salmon Farmers Deploy Lasers, Robots to Meet Booming Demand

Norwegian salmon producers are turning to lasers, robots, and AI-driven surveillance to keep fish alive longer as global demand for salmon grows. The report describes a monitoring system inside Norway’s fjords where cameras continuously track thousands of salmon for parasites. When the system detects signs of potential infestation, it triggers responses intended to reduce harm to the fish. By using automated observation and intervention, producers aim to improve survival rates and manage health risks in real time rather than relying on less frequent checks. The effort reflects how aquaculture is adopting advanced technologies to scale production while controlling biological threats.
