Why it matters
Sea lice force salmon farmers into handling-heavy treatments that injure fish and cost the Norwegian industry hundreds of millions of euros. Stingray sells continuous, in-pen control and earns recurring service and leasing revenue. Novo Holdings bought a majority stake in October 2024, and Stingray has built a second Oslo factory and has an order book into autumn 2026.
