Abstract
Nett av elastisk materiale som settes ut som en barriere i merde, elv, innsjø eller hav. Nettet omslutter fiskens kropp når den svømmer gjennom, noe som fører til at parasittene skrelles av fiskekroppen, skades og blir svømmende fritt i vannet. Nettet kan stå permanent installert, slik at parasitter som finner en ny vert vil skrelles av gjentatte ganger, noe som fører til at de ikke får sin nødvendige næring. Parasittene får heller ikke formert seg og populasjonen av parasitter dør ut på sikt.Net of elastic material that is exposed as a barrier in cages, rivers, lakes or seas. The net encloses the fish's body as it swims through, which causes the parasites to peel off the fish body, be damaged and swim freely in the water. The network may be permanently installed, so that parasites that find a new host will be peeled repeatedly, which will cause them to not get their necessary nutrition. The parasites also do not multiply and the population of parasites dies out in the long run.

Beskrivelse Description
Nett for fjerning av parasitter på fisk Net for the removal of parasites on fish
Oppfinnelsen består av et nett laget av elastisk materiale for fjerning av parasitter på fisk. Oppfinnelsen er for bruk i oppdrettsanlegg, elver eller frittflytende i hav eller sjø. The invention consists of a net made of elastic material for the removal of parasites on fish. The invention is for use in fish farms, rivers or free-floating in the ocean or sea.
Oppdrettsbransjen i Norge og verden for øvrig har et kjempeproblem med parasitter som opptrer på fisk i oppdrettsanleggene. Spesielt er Lakselus (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) og Skottelus (Caligus elongatus) to arter som skaper problemer for oppdrettsnæringen. The aquaculture industry in Norway and the rest of the world has a huge problem with parasites that appear on fish in the aquaculture facilities. In particular, Salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) and Scots lice (Caligus elongatus) are two species that cause problems for the farming industry.
Lakselusa påfører laksefisk skade ved å spise av slim, skinn og blod. Dette åpner for andre infeksjoner fra for eksempel bakterier og sopp og innvirker også på den osmotiske saltbalansen til fisken. Salmon lice cause damage to salmon by feeding on mucus, skin and blood. This opens the door for other infections from, for example, bacteria and fungi and also affects the osmotic salt balance of the fish.
Lus er en av de viktigste tapsårsakene i oppdrett av laksefisk i dag. Grovt regnet taper norsk oppdrettsnæring årlig om lag 500 millioner kroner på direkte tap (Redigert av oppfinneren: tallene her er fra 2009, estimert kostnad for bransjen i 2016 er over 8 milliarder kroner), utgifter til kjemikaliebruk og ekstraarbeid til avlusing, vekttap på grunn av stress, mulig tap av fisk osv. Det er i dag klare grenser for hvor mye lakselus laks i oppdrettsanlegg kan ha. Mattilsynet har klare retningslinjer for hvordan parasitten skal bekjempes. Lice are one of the most important causes of loss in salmon farming today. Roughly speaking, the Norwegian farming industry loses around NOK 500 million annually in direct losses (Edited by the inventor: the figures here are from 2009, the estimated cost for the industry in 2016 is over NOK 8 billion), expenses for chemical use and extra work for de-lice, weight loss due to stress, possible loss of fish, etc. There are now clear limits on how much salmon lice salmon can have in farms. The Norwegian Food Safety Authority has clear guidelines for how to combat the parasite.
Villaksen får problem når det blir produsert mer lus. Den primære effekten av lakselus er redusert vekst. Redusert vekst i svake, ville bestander kan i verste fall føre til en svekkelse av reproduksjonspotensialet. Wild salmon get into trouble when more lice are produced. The primary effect of salmon lice is reduced growth. Reduced growth in weak, wild populations can in the worst case lead to a weakening of the reproductive potential.

Eksisterende løsninger for fjerning av parasitt hos oppdrettsfisk har til nå stort sett vært medikamenter, noe som har begynt å resultere i blant annet resistens hos parasittene. Existing solutions for parasite removal in farmed fish have until now mostly been drugs, which has started to result in, among other things, resistance in the parasites.
Den siste tiden har også spyling av fisk vært introdusert, en metode som innebærer at fisken tas fysisk ut av merden, spyles og tilbakeføres. Parasittene samles opp og destrueres. Denne metoden er dyr, ressurskrevende og bidrar til å stresse fisken, hvilket igjen har innvirkning på kvaliteten av kjøttet, og ikke minst dyrevelferden til fisken. Recently, flushing of fish has also been introduced, a method which involves the fish being physically taken out of the cage, flushed and returned. The parasites are collected and destroyed. This method is expensive, resource-intensive and contributes to stressing the fish, which in turn has an impact on the quality of the meat, and not least the animal welfare of the fish.
Det finnes også løsninger hvor fisken selv må oppsøke installasjoner i merdene for å kløav seg lusa, effekten av disse er ikke kjent for oppfinneren. There are also solutions where the fish themselves have to seek out installations in the cages to scratch off the lice, the effect of these is not known to the inventor.
Oppfinnelsen går ut på å sette ut et elastisk nett (Figur 1.) som en barriere i vannet, noe som medfører at fisken selv fjerner parasitter hver gang den passerer gjennom nettet. The invention consists of setting out an elastic net (Figure 1.) as a barrier in the water, which means that the fish itself removes parasites every time it passes through the net.
I et avgrenset område, for eksempel en merde, svømmer fisken konstant i ring, og vil med jevne mellomrom passere gjennom nettet. Maskene i nettet vil grunnet elastisiteten strekke seg og tett omslutte fiskens kropp (Figur 4.). In a limited area, for example a cage, the fish constantly swims in a circle, and will pass through the net at regular intervals. Due to its elasticity, the meshes in the net will stretch and tightly surround the fish's body (Figure 4).
Fisken, f. eks. laks svømmer med hastigheter på 0,2 til 1,9 fiskelengder per sekund (Havforskningsrapporten 2010), noe som medfører at parasittene skrelles eller nærmest høvles av fiskekroppen på grunn av at nettet som er tett omsluttet mot fiskens kropp (Figur 2-6.) raskt trekkes over parasittene og bryter deres forbindelse mot fisken. Dette oppnås enten parasittene har bitt seg fast, sugd seg fast eller festet seg på andre måter. Parasittene vil trolig i stor grad også skades av denne behandlingen. De som eventuelt overlever vil raskt måtte finne seg en ny vert. Siden nettet kan stå permanent i for eksempel en merde, vil sekvensen nevnt over gjenta seg (Figur 2-6.) neste gang fisken svømmer gjennom nettet, og på sikt vil populasjonen av parasitter døut av seg selv ettersom de ikke får spist eller formert seg på sin vanlige måte. The fish, e.g. salmon swim at speeds of 0.2 to 1.9 fish lengths per second (Havforskningsrapporten 2010), which means that the parasites are peeled or almost planed off the fish's body due to the fact that the net, which is tightly wrapped around the fish's body (Figure 2-6.) is quickly pulled over the parasites and breaks their connection to the fish. This is achieved whether the parasites have bitten, sucked or attached themselves in other ways. The parasites will probably also be damaged to a large extent by this treatment. Those that do survive will quickly have to find a new host. Since the net can remain permanently in, for example, a cage, the sequence mentioned above will repeat itself (Figure 2-6) the next time the fish swims through the net, and in the long run the population of parasites will die out by itself as they cannot be eaten or reproduce in his usual way.
En av årsaken til de store mengdene parasitter som finnes nå, er at de har for gode livsbetingelser i og rundt oppdrettsanlegg, hvor det finnes hundretusener av individer å leve på. Oppfinnelsen virker inn på hele livssyklusen til parasittene, ogødelegger de gode livsbetingelse til parasittene, slik at de vil dø ut på sikt. One of the reasons for the large amounts of parasites that exist now is that they have too good living conditions in and around breeding facilities, where there are hundreds of thousands of individuals to live on. The invention affects the entire life cycle of the parasites, and destroys the good living conditions for the parasites, so that they will eventually die out.
Oppfinnelsen er miljøvennlig, skånsom mot fisken, ingen tilført energi er nødvendig, fisken gjør over tid jobben selv. Ingen bruk av medikamenter. Oppfinnelsen skaper ingen avfallsprodukter, bortsett fra døde parasitter i en periode, noe som vil opptas av havet på lik linje med andre biologiske rester etter planter og dyr. The invention is environmentally friendly, gentle on the fish, no added energy is necessary, the fish does the work itself over time. No use of drugs. The invention creates no waste products, apart from dead parasites for a period of time, which will be taken up by the sea in the same way as other biological remains from plants and animals.
