Brisk Aqua developes and launches new Skeleton lice screens
A technological and commercial breakthrough for the aquaculture industry
The Brisk Aqua Skeleton lice screen has been developed to address some of the most significant challenges associated with traditional lice screens: short service life, high wear, limited control, and unnecessary environmental impact. The solution combines a new structural design, improved material selection, digital traceability, and an integrated service model.
Strength and service life
The Skeleton structure distributes loads more evenly across the entire screen, reducing point stress and deformation, and providing substantially higher structural strength than conventional solutions. Combined with correct handling and service, the target service life is 5–8 years, compared with a typical 1–3 years for standard lice screens.
Gentle material selection – reduced abrasion and microplastics
PVC has been removed from contact zones and replaced with a soft, smooth, yet highly durable fabric. This results in:
Significantly less abrasion against the net
Reduced wear on both the lice screen and the net cage
Lower risk of microplastic emissions
Improved interaction between equipment during operation
The result is longer service life for both the screen and the net, and a lower overall load on the farming installation.
Full traceability and control
All Skeleton lice screens are digitally tracked via ABAX and combined with traceable environmental ropes. This provides full visibility of:
Where each screen is located
Where it has been deployed
History of washing, service, and repairs
For customers, this enables better control, simplified reporting, and more efficient planning, including reuse of screens between sites. For Brisk Aqua, it provides the basis for efficient logistics, faster turnaround times, and higher asset utilisation.
Integrated service – predictable performance over time
Skeleton lice screens are delivered with a mandatory service agreement through Brisk Aqua Service. The service setup ensures:
Gentle washing with no measurable wear
Regular inspection and repairs
Documented follow-up throughout the entire service life
This is critical to achieving long service life, stable functionality, and predictable operations.
Sustainability and circularity
The combination of extended service life, reduced plastic use, lower microplastic emissions, and full traceability results in a solution that is genuinely more sustainable and well aligned with increasing requirements for documentation, producer responsibility, and circular economy principles.
Commercial value
Although the Skeleton lice screen is designed for a significantly longer service life, the price difference compared with traditional lice screens is relatively limited. When considering total lifespan, reduced wear, improved utilisation, and lower replacement frequency, the solution delivers substantially higher total value over time.
In summary
The Brisk Aqua Skeleton lice screen represents a technological and commercial breakthrough, with documented advantages in strength, service life, traceability, and sustainability, supported by a scalable business model that combines product and service.
