Novel atypical Aeromonas salmonicida bath challenge model for juvenile ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta, Ascanius) [PDF]
AbstractAtypical Aeromonas salmonicida (aAs) is currently one of the most routinely recovered bacterial pathogens isolated during disease outbreaks in farmed cleaner fish, ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta, Ascanius). Vibrionaceae family bacteria have also been isolated from ballan wrasse in Scotland.

Marine ornamental species from European waters: a valuable overlooked resource or a future threat for the conservation of marine ecosystems? [PDF]
The worldwide growth of the marine aquarium market has contributed to the degradation of coral reef ecosystems. Enforcing the legislation on importing ornamental species has led some European traders to concentrate on local species. Portugal is used as a

There is a reluctance to incorporate Fishers’ Ecological Knowledge (FEK) into the evidence base used to underpin marine management decisions. FEK has proved to be useful as an alternative reference of biological changes in data-poor scenarios.

Atypical Aeromonas salmonicida vapA type V and Vibrio spp. are predominant bacteria recovered from ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta A.) in Scotland [PDF]
Healthy and/or moribund farmed and wild ballan wrasse Labrus bergylta (>0.5 to 900 g) were sampled from hatcheries (n = 2) and Atlantic salmon cage sites (n = 8) in Scotland between February 2016 and October 2018.

Ballan wrasse is a widely used cleaner fish for farming Atlantic salmon and is collected from nature and reared for this purpose. One of the main bottlenecks in ballan wrasse rearing is formulation of diets that result in high feed intake, growth, and ...

"A cleaner break" - Genetic analysis identifies two major groups of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) within Scandinavia and evidence of phenotype derived divergence [PDF]
For a long time, sea lice have represented the major financial and fish welfare challenge of the salmonid farming industry. In the late 1980s, the use of parasite-eating cleaner fish, first and foremost wrasses (family Labridae), was put into practice ...

The reproductive cycle of female Ballan wrasse Labrus bergylta in high latitude, temperate waters [PDF]
This 2 year study examined the reproductive cycle of wild female Ballan wrasse Labrus bergylta in western Norway as a precursor to captive breeding trials. Light microscopy of ovarian histology was used to stage gonad maturity and enzyme‐linked immuno‐absorbent assay (ELISA) to measure plasma concentrations of the sex steroids testosterone (T) and 17β ...

SlotLim is a new harvest control rule that produces catch advice for vertebrate and invertebrate fisheries managed by harvest slot limits. The methodology is data‐limited, requiring a few years of fishery‐dependent data and life‐history information. The ‘SlotLim’ R package is available via CRAN. Abstract Minimum landing sizes are a fisheries management

Calming down the seas: the near collapse of an Atlantic coastal fishery [PDF]
For years now the estimates of the consequences of overfishing for marine ecosystems have differed greatly within the scientific community^1^. The use of commercial catch statistics to estimate tendencies has been much criticised^2^, but alternative ...
