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.

I’ve always thought a stupidly expensive but cool and helpful device would be a tabletop mosquito/fly/wasp killer that shot lasers at said insects. I’m very happy to see there is an underwater version that seems to be really effective

They exist in trials. The human danger is too great though I think. If the laser thinks your eye is a fly for a split second, game over for vision.

MFW people invent laser weapons to shoot parasites off penned animals instead of just not eating fish.
