Uses
Excis is indicated for the treatment and control of sea lice in farmed Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar).Excis will treat and control all stages of Lepeophtheirus salmonis (copepodid, chalimus I – IV, pre-adult and adult) and Caligus elongatus.

Dosage and administration
The product is to be administered by addition to seawater.Immediately prior to administration, mix the correct volume of product with approximately 40 litres of seawater before adding to the seacage at several locations to ensure maximum dispersion.
Preparation of the seacage to be treated: The seacage net should be raised to a depth of 2 – 2.5 metres, and then surrounded by impervious tarpaulins to isolate the cage to be treated. The depth of enclosed water should then be 3 metres.
The amount of product to achieve the treatment dose can be calculated using the following table:
| Cage size (m) | Enclosed depth of water (m) | Amount of Excis (ml) |
| 12 × 12 | 3 | 216 |
| 15 × 15 | 3 | 338 |
| 16 × 16 | 3 | 384 |
An oxygen diffuser should be used during treatment to maintain an oxygen level greater than 7mg/l during the treatment.
Treatment Period
1 hour.
Treatment Dose
0.5ml Excis/m3 sea water, which is equivalent to 5µg cypermethrin/litre sea water.
