Application of spatially robust stereo-BRUV sampling for quantifying fish assemblages in UK marine protected areas. [PDF]
Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) often lack adequate data on the status of marine assemblages to support evidence‐based management. Stereo baited remote underwater video (BRUV) systems offer a powerful, low‐cost tool for collecting ecological data, yet they remain underutilized in the North East Atlantic, especially compared to more invasive ...

Technical feed quality influences health, digestion patterns, body mineralization and bone development in farming of the stomachless cleaner fish ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) [PDF]
Farmed ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) is an efficient cleaner fish used for non-medicinal delicing of Atlantic salmon in sea cages replacing to an increasing degree wild wrasse due to considerations for biodiversity and risk of overfishing local wrasse ...

Growth and stress factors in ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) larval development [PDF]
Ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) is a specialized cleaner fish used in salmon farms as a biological treatment against sea lice. Its commercial rearing is at present mostly experimental. A number of key aspects, including the molecular and physiological mechanisms that promote its growth and development, are still largely unexplored.

Can lipidomics help identifying egg quality in ballan wrasse?
Ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) is in the limelight of aquaculture research due to the species role as cleaner fish in salmon aquaculture. A major drawback is that the salmon industry still depends on wild caught fish as there are still many unsolved challenges in ballan wrasse aquaculture, amongst them the determination of egg quality.

Acclimatisation with lice-infested salmon improves cleaner fish lice consumption
Securing the welfare and maximising the lice removal efficacy of ~60 million cleaner fish used each year on salmonid farms is essential to develop a productive and ethical industry with low salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis levels.

Comparing Genome Sequencing Methods to Reconstruct the Spread of Piscine Myocarditis Virus in Ireland. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Piscine myocarditis virus (PMCV), a double‐stranded RNA virus, is the causative agent of cardiomyopathy syndrome (CMS) in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, which was first reported in Ireland in 2012. PMCV continues to be a disease threat to Atlantic salmon aquaculture in Ireland, and as such, it is of growing importance to understand how the virus

Early Nutritional Programing: Unlocking the Potential of Fish for Sustainable Aquaculture. [PDF]
Nutritional programing, which explores the link between early nutritional conditions and their long‐term effects on animals, is a developing field within fish biology. Suboptimal nutritional status during early life is strongly associated with a higher risk of metabolic consequences later in life, including permanent growth retardation, impaired neural

Morphological and metabarcoding dietary analysis of the cunner wrasse (Tautogolabrus adspersus) revealed significant regional variation, with large overlap between its common prey species and biofouling animals living on salmonid sea cages. [PDF]
Abstract The stomach‐less cunner wrasse (Tautogolabrus adspersus) has been experimentally used as a biological control agent for salmon lice that infest Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and to remove biofouling inside sea cages. The cunner demonstrates a strong population structure, suggesting that its diet, and therefore its usefulness for biological ...

More but Smaller: Marine Heatwaves Exacerbate Size Truncation in Overfished Fish Communities in the Skagerrak. [PDF]
Habitat forming kelps are in decline and are being replaced by turf‐forming algae in coastal areas globally due to increasing frequency and intensity of MHW. By favoring small fish species, these shifts exacerbate size distribution effects in coastal fish communities, with many stocks already suffering from overfishing.

Organogenesis of Ballan Wrasse Labrus Bergylta (Ascanius 1767) Larvae [PDF]
The organogenesis of ballan wrasse, Labrus bergylta, Ascanius, 1767 larvae was studied during the first 49 days after hatching (DAH) with histological and histochemical methods. During the yolk sac stage (0-9 DAH), a syncytial layer had surrounded the yolk sac.
