Abstract: Device, system and method for distribution of pesticides to reduce or eliminate parasitic creatures liable to infest aquaculture facilities or the animals kept in these, such as salmon lice in a fish farm. The invention is based on the use of pesticides at a concentration level low enough to not represent a dangerous level for the environment, but for a longer exposure period, sufficient to enable delousing to occur.
