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.

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 ...

Image scoring and cooperation in a cleaner fish mutualism [PDF]
Nature, 2006 Humans are highly social animals and often help unrelated individuals that may never reciprocate the altruist's favour. This apparent evolutionary puzzle may be explained by the altruist's gain in social image: image-scoring bystanders, also known as eavesdroppers, notice the altruistic act and therefore are more likely to help the altruist in the ...

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 ...

Floating faeces for a cleaner fish production [PDF]
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2015 Recent developments in European recirculating aquaculture systems suggest expanding potential for this extremely water-efficient technique. However, the technology still faces challenges due to concerns over economic efficiency and system stability ...

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 ...

Applied Food Research, 2021 Farmed lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) is frequently used as cleaner fish in Norwegian salmon aquaculture. During the period in the net cage, the lumpfish feed on salmon lice.

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 Labroides dimidiatus Presence Does Not Indirectly Affect Demersal Zooplankton
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Coral reef mutualisms involve complex trophic ecological relationships that produce indirect effects. Excluding mutualistic cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus from reefs indirectly increases the abundance of many fishes and reduces demersal stages of ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 In marine interspecific cleaning mutualisms, small fish known as “cleaners” inspect the surface, gills and sometimes the mouth of “client” reef fish, eating ectoparasites, mucus, scales and dead or infected tissue.
