Abstract Salmon production, and aquaculture in general, entails certain environmental risks that must be managed and controlled. In Norway, as in other aquaculture-producing countries, governments seek means of improving the industry and encouraging sustainable conduct. In Norwegian aquaculture regulation, the salmon louse has become an important indicator and regulatory instrument – a governmental technology. The louse is a proxy for the environmental impact of the industry and as a governmental technology, it is used to regulate and incite behavior. In this paper, we draw on results from both interviews and an analysis of responses to a consultation round for a governmental White Paper proposing new means for regulating the growth of the aquaculture industry. Based on these results, we investigate the becoming of the salmon louse as a regulatory instrument, and how this is perceived among relevant stakeholders. The political significance of the salmon louse serves to illuminate how a governmental technology is created to instill control from a distance. The history of how the salmon louse has become a governable object additionally elucidates disagreements and uncertainties surrounding modern salmon farming and demonstrates that the creation of governmental technologies persists in the face of resistance.

虱子的制造——构建可持续水产养殖的政府技术

摘要 三文鱼生产和水产养殖普遍存在一定的环境风险,必须加以管理和控制。在挪威,与其他水产养殖生产国一样,政府寻求改善行业和鼓励可持续行为的方法。在挪威的水产养殖监管中,鲑鱼虱已成为一项重要的指标和监管工具——一项政府技术。虱子是该行业环境影响的代表,作为一项政府技术,它被用来规范和煽动行为。在本文中,我们借鉴了访谈结果和对政府白皮书咨询回合回应的分析,该白皮书提出了规范水产养殖业增长的新方法。基于这些结果,我们调查了鲑鱼虱成为监管工具的情况,以及相关利益相关者如何看待这一点。鲑鱼虱子的政治意义有助于阐明政府技术是如何被创造出来的,以便从远处灌输控制。鲑鱼虱如何成为可治理对象的历史还阐明了围绕现代鲑鱼养殖的分歧和不确定性,并表明政府技术的创造在面临阻力时仍然存在。
