1. A device for trapping and killing marine organisms such as animal plankton, salmon lice and other parasites, comprising:
a body configured for submersion in water,
at least one light source configured and controlled for attracting said marine organisms,
a cavity arranged inside the body,
an opening for fluid communication with at least a portion of the water,
at least one positive electrode arranged in said cavity and configured for being electrically connected to a low-voltage power source, and
at least one negative electrode arranged in the water and configured for being electrically connected to said power source,
wherein:
said at least one light source is arranged inside the cavity and arranged and controlled to emit light waves through said opening and into the at least a portion of the water;
the at least one positive electrode is accessible through the opening in an operation state; and
the device is operable to, by means of electrolysis with the water, generate chlorine gas at or in a region near the at least one positive electrode, and wherein the chlorine gas reacts with the water inside the cavity to form acid inside said cavity.
