Inventor Baard Johannessen new debugging method saved parts of the farming industry from mass slaughter in 2009. The method consists of using various drugs, such as lice each of which is resistant in combination, in a certain way (see facts).
In 2009, Johannessen invited to several farms to tell about the method and training employees. He also visits Sinkaberg Hansen’s facility, where he trains employees, helps debugging and get paid.
Baard Johannessen claims reach a licensing requirement of at least 12 million from Sinkaberg Hansen AS, for repeated unauthorized use of the patented method.
– Not using the method
Transparency in Food Safety Authority’s register for the use of veterinary drugs (Vetreg) shows that Sinkaberg Hansen AS much as 31 times over the last 2.5 years have used the two drugs Salmosan and Alpha Max / Betamax – the same date and at the same locality.
Nevertheless denies that they use Johannessen method.
– We do not use combination method, says CEO Find Sinkaberg.

Baard Johannessen mean in turn that statistic proves that Sinkaberg Hansen has made extensive use of his method. He says that a sober calculation of what the company owes him a license fee for the period, in which case NOK 11.7 million.
Stronger mix possible
Professor Tor Einar Horsberg at the Veterinary School, one of the foremost experts on sea lice, says there is also another possibility: the company may have used a mix of the two drugs in the water simultaneously, without the time lag that Johannessen prescriber.
He says that one way to do that is not unusual, but this is a more risky method, both cost-wise and for fish health and the environment. It is used significantly more toxic.
Horsberg says that the particularity of Johannessen method is both time lag and the reduced concentration of Salmosan (less toxic use).
– How original is the method?
– I count myself as an astute expert on this, and I was not in the tank before he presented it.
– Why are Johannessen method exciting?
– The exciting thing from my point of view, these two drugs, used in this way have an effect that is better than the two separately. At one plus one is not two, but four, says Horsberg, stressing that this is not yet proven.
