Effect of the removal of cleaner fish on the abundance and species composition of reef fish
Oecologia, 1997 The ecological significance of cleaner fish on coral reefs was investigated. I removed all cleaner fish, Labroides dimidiatus, from eight small reefs, measured the subsequent effect on the abundance and species composition of all reef fish after 3 and 6 months, and compared it with eight control reefs with cleaner fish.

Marine Biology, 2021 Cleaner fish remove parasites from other organisms, called clients. While there is an extensive body of work on the positive role of cleaners for their clients and reef communities, remarkably, potential parasites hosted by specialised cleaner fishes themselves have not been explored.

Cleaner fish are potential super-spreaders
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2022 ABSTRACT 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 been evaluated.

Cleaner shrimp are true cleaners of injured fish
Marine Biology, 2018 Reef fishes sustain injuries from various behavioural and environmental interactions. Injured fishes have been observed frequenting cleaning stations to be attended by different cleaner fishes. This symbiotic relationship between injured fishes and cleaner fishes has only been observed in the wild and has never been demonstrated empirically for cleaner

Cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus recognise familiar clients
Animal Cognition, 2002 Individual recognition has been attributed a crucial role in the evolution of complex social systems such as helping behaviour and cooperation. A classical example for interspecific cooperation is the mutualism between the cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus and its client reef fish species.

Are cleaner fish, Labroides dimidiatus, inequity averse?
Animal Behaviour, 2012Inequity aversion (IA), a willingness to incur temporary costs to prevent unequal outcomes, is common in humans and thought to be beneficial in the context of cooperative relationships with nonkin, since it might allow individuals to regulate contributions to cooperative activities.

Cleaner shrimp are a sustainable option to treat parasitic disease in farmed fish [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Chemical use is widespread in aquaculture to treat parasitic diseases in farmed fish. Cleaner fish biocontrols are increasingly used in fish farming as an alternative to medicines. However, cleaner fish are susceptible to some of their clients’ parasites

Cleaner blues: Condition-dependent colour and cleaner fish service quality
Behavioural Processes, 2020While vivid colours in sexual signals can provide information on individual quality, vivid colours in interspecific signals have been interpreted mostly as indicating species identity and maximizing signal detection. Here we investigate if colour differences in an interspecific signal could also indicate relevant aspects of individual quality because ...

Sustainable production and use of cleaner fish for the biological control of sea lice: recent advances and current challenges [PDF]
Veterinary Record, 2018 Currently, cleaner fish are one of the most widely used sea lice control strategies in Atlantic salmon aquaculture. Two species are currently being farmed in North Atlantic countries, ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) and lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus), and
