The potential for cleaner fish‐driven evolution in the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis: Genetic or environmental control of pigmentation? [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The parasitic salmon louse represents one of the biggest challenges to environmentally sustainable salmonid aquaculture across the globe. This species also displays a high evolutionary potential, as demonstrated by its rapid development of resistance to ...

Cleaner fish with mirror self-recognition capacity precisely realize their body size based on their mental image [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAnimals exhibiting mirror self-recognition (MSR) are considered self-aware; however, studies on their level of self-awareness remain inconclusive.

Rapid self-recognition ability in the cleaner fish [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWhether animals are self-aware has important implications for our approaches to both animal cognition and animal welfare. A landmark moment in animal cognition research was when great apes passed the mark-test and demonstrated mirror self-recognition ...

Sea lice removal by cleaner fish in salmon aquaculture: a review of the evidence base
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020 Stocking cleaner fish to control sea lice infestations in Atlantic salmon farms is widespread and is viewed as a salmon welfare-friendly alternative to current delousing control treatments.

Brain morphology predicts social intelligence in wild cleaner fish [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 The causes and consequences of social intelligence are challenging to establish. A study on wild cleaner fish reports that large forebrains enable individuals to score higher in a social competence test, suggesting forebrain size is important for complex

Cleaner fish recognize self in a mirror via self-face recognition like humans. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 Significance Some animals have the capacity for mirror self-recognition, but implications for self-awareness remain controversial. Here, we show that cleaner fish, Labroides dimidiatus, likely recognize their own mirror image using a mental image of the ...

Further evidence for the capacity of mirror self-recognition in cleaner fish and the significance of ecologically relevant marks. [PDF]
PLoS Biol, 2022 An animal that tries to remove a mark from its body that is only visible when looking into a mirror displays the capacity for mirror self-recognition (MSR), which has been interpreted as evidence for self-awareness.

Modelling how cleaner fish approach an ephemeral reward task demonstrates a role for ecologically tuned chunking in the evolution of advanced cognition. [PDF]
PLoS Biol, 2022 What makes cognition “advanced” is an open and not precisely defined question. One perspective involves increasing the complexity of associative learning, from conditioning to learning sequences of events (“chaining”) to representing various cue ...
