This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

In Norway, laser weapons are being used to remove sea lice from farmed salmon. The Stingray Laser System uses cameras to scan the fish, identify lice, and then deliver a laser pulse to kill them. (files.catbox.moe)

Given that the (Norwegian) Fish Farms on the coast of BC almost annihilated the natural salmon due to the lice and other ecosystem damage, something to destroy the lice might be a little bit helpful. Although it might only be helpful to the penned fish and not the surrounding environment.
