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)

    That's an antiquated reality. It should be a mRNA vaccine or perhaps some kind of nanobot that kills these parasites.

    I was thinking of Sterling's Shaper/Mechanist universe, with the conflict being between genetic tinkerers and techno-upgraders.

    You could blast the parasites with lasers on drones. Or engineer better fish immune systems.
