Health assessment of the cleaner fish ballan wrasse Labrus bergylta from the British south-west coast [PDF]
Wild-caught ballan wrasse Labrus bergylta are translocated en masse from the British south-west coast to Scotland for use as cleaner fish to tackle Atlantic salmon Salmo salar sea lice infestations; however, very little is known about the background health status of this species.

Beyond the Binary: Controlling Natural Sex‐Change in Hermaphroditic Fishes
ABSTRACT Sex‐change in hermaphroditic fishes is a complex but natural biological phenomenon that has significant implications for aquaculture fingerling production, selective breeding, and grow‐out. Understanding the physiological, endocrinological, and molecular pathways underlying hermaphroditism in fishes offers unique opportunities to manipulate ...

Connectivity and Population Structure in a Marginal Sea—A Review
ABSTRACT Aim The current biodiversity crisis calls for conservation measures that limit or reduce the negative human impact on key habitats and vulnerable wild populations. To effectively protect biodiversity at all levels, including intra‐specific diversity, conservation measures should, ideally, be aligned with the connectivity and genetic structure ...

Amoebic gill disease due to Paramoeba perurans in ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta)
AbstractBallan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) is cultured for the use as cleaner fish in Atlantic salmon farms. A low level of mortality was experienced in ballan wrasse broodstock tanks during spawning. Examined moribund and clinically healthy fish showed patchy gill lesions characteristic of amoebic gill disease (AGD).

Fish Predation in Bivalve Aquaculture: Impacts and Potential Mitigation Strategies
ABSTRACT Fish predation poses a significant challenge to bivalve aquaculture throughout the global range of production. However, the issue remains poorly understood, preventing the advance of effective interventions. Fish predation, especially on mussels in longline culture, can be severe and, in some instances, lead to crop losses of up to 100%, which

Multiple Pathways of Visual Adaptations for Water Column Usage in an Antarctic Adaptive Radiation
By investigating the diversification of the visual system in notothenioids, we reveal lineages at equivalent depths often depict extremes in eye size with striking convergences in tuning sites between distantly related species that are likely driven by the unusual environmental conditions of the Southern Ocean.

Effects of different live feed on larval growth and development in ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta Ascanius, 1767): - A metabolomics study [PDF]
The use of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) for the treatment of salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus samonis) in salmon farming is rapidly growing due to resistance to chemical treatments.

Mind the depth: The vertical dimension of a small-scale coastal fishery shapes selection on species, size, and sex in wrasses [PDF]
Small‐scale fisheries (SSFs) tend to target shallow waters, but the depth distributions of coastal fish can vary depending on species, size, and sex. This creates a scope for a form of fishing selectivity that has received limited attention but can have ...
