The present invention relates to a device (100) for reducing the number of parasites on a fish, the device (100) comprising: —a filter member (101) arranged with respect to gravity to have a downward slope along a longitudinal axis (X-X) from an inlet interface (A) of the filter member to an outlet (B) of the filter member, the filter member having openings (107) with a smallest dimension in the range of 0.5 mm to 50 mm; —an inlet channel (200) having an inlet (C) at a first end of the inlet channel and a connection interface (D) at a second end of the inlet channel, the inlet channel being arranged to provide fluid communication between the connection interface and the inlet interface of the filter member and to provide a vertical drop (d) from a bottom edge (210) of the inlet channel at the connection interface to a bottom edge (110) of the filter member at the inlet interface, the vertical drop being in the range of 0 cm to 50 cm; —a plurality of parasite removal nozzles (104) surrounding a target volume (V) and being configured to eject a fluid toward the target volume (V), the plurality of parasite removal nozzles being positioned at a downstream distance (e) from the inlet interface along the longitudinal axis, which downstream distance is in the range of 0 cm to 50 cm; wherein at least one of the vertical drop and the downstream distance is at least 2 cm.
