Not that clean: Aquaculture-mediated translocation of cleaner fish has led to hybridization on the northern edge of the species' range. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2021 Translocation and introduction of non‐native organisms can have major impacts on local populations and ecosystems. Nevertheless, translocations are common practices in agri‐ and aquaculture.

Cleaner fish are sensitive to what their partners can and cannot see. [PDF]
Commun Biol, 2021 Much of human experience is informed by our ability to attribute mental states to others, a capacity known as theory of mind. While evidence for theory of mind in animals to date has largely been restricted to primates and other large-brained species ...

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 ...

First record of biofluorescence in lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus), a commercially farmed cleaner fish. [PDF]
J Fish Biol, 2022 This study is the first known observation of biofluorescence in the lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus). Individual lumpfish were illuminated with blue excitation lighting for photography with both hyperspectral and filtered multispectral cameras.

The interplay between satiation and temptation drives cleaner fish <i>Labroides dimidiatus</i> foraging behavior and service quality toward client reef fish. [PDF]
Behav EcolSupply and demand affect the values of goods exchanged in cooperative trades where high demand typically leads to a higher cost. An exception has been described in the marine cleaning mutualism involving the cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus and its ...

Juvenile cleaner fish can socially learn the consequences of cheating [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Cleaner fish can cheat clients for higher rewards but this comes with a risk of punishment. Here, Truskanov et al. show that juvenile cleaner fish can learn by observing adults to behave more cooperatively themselves but also to prefer clients that are ...

From learning to reversal learning: How non-cleaner fish tackle the biological market task [PDF]
Animal CognitionThe biological market task – also known as the ephemeral reward task – models the mutualistic cleaning interactions between bluestreak cleaner wrasses and their client fish on coral reefs.

Cleaner fish escape salmon farms and hybridize with local wrasse populations [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 The genetic impact of farmed fish escaping aquaculture is a highly debated issue. However, non-target species, such as cleaner fish used to remove sea lice from farmed fish, are rarely considered.

Cleaner fish are potential super-spreaders.
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2022 Cleaning symbiosis is critical for maintaining healthy biological communities in tropical marine ecosystems. However, potential negative impacts of mutualism, such as the transmission of pathogens and parasites during cleaning interactions, have rarely ...

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 ...
