Long-term effects of the cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus on coral reef fish communities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Cleaning behaviour is deemed a mutualism, however the benefit of cleaning interactions to client individuals is unknown. Furthermore, mechanisms that may shift fish community structure in the presence of cleaning organisms are unclear.

Cleaner Fish Drives Local Fish Diversity on Coral Reefs [PDF]
Current Biology, 2003 Coral reefs are one of the most diverse habitats in the world, yet our understanding of the processes affecting their biodiversity is limited. At the local scale, cleaner fish are thought to have a disproportionate effect, in relation to their abundance and size, on the activity of many other fish species, but confirmation of this species' effect on ...

Cleaner Fish Do Not Impact the Pigmentation of Salmon Lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) in Commercial Aquaculture Cages [PDF]
Fishes, 2023 Salmon lice are one of the biggest challenges to sustainable salmonid aquaculture. The species display high evolutionary potential, which is evident by its development of resistance to numerous chemical compounds used for delousing.

Cleaner fish in aquaculture: review on diseases and vaccination [PDF]
Reviews in Aquaculture, 2020 AbstractCombating and controlling sea lice causes large economic costs for the farmers, with estimated values of more than 305 million euros (€) per year. Increased resistance against traditional chemotherapeutants due to evolutionary drivers in the sea lice combined with the lack of an effective vaccine and few other chemical treatments available are ...

The First Cleaner Ant? A Novel Partnership in the Arizona Desert [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionI give an account of the first known example of an ant (i.e., an undescribed Dorymyrmex) that licks and nips the much larger workers of a different ant species (Pogonomyrmex barbatus) in a manner remarkably parallel to the actions of cleaner fish that ...

Cleaner shrimp remove parasite eggs on fish cages [PDF]
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2018 Benthic stages of cultured fishes’ ectoparasites are a major contributor to persistent reinfections in aquaculture. These stages are resistant to chemical therapies and are costly to manage in terms of time and labour.

Female cleaner fish cooperate more with unfamiliar males. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2012 Joint group membership is of major importance for cooperation in humans, and close ties or familiarity with a partner are also thought to promote cooperation in other animals. Here, we present the opposite pattern: female cleaner fish,Labroides dimidiatus,behave more cooperatively (by feeding more against their preference) when paired with an ...

Arginine vasotocin regulation of interspecific cooperative behaviour in a cleaner fish. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2012 In an interspecific cooperative context, individuals must be prepared to tolerate close interactive proximity to other species but also need to be able to respond to relevant social stimuli in the most appropriate manner. The neuropeptides vasopressin and oxytocin and their non-mammalian homologues have been implicated in the evolution of sociality and
