The Rock Cook Wrasse Centrolabrus exoletus Aims to Clean
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Cleaning behavior between teleost fish in the marine environment is known to be a classic example of mutualistic cooperation, in which cleaners and their so-called clients exchange benefits. These mutualisms occur globally.

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.

Temperate facultative cleaner wrasses selectively remove ectoparasites from their client-fish in the Azores [PDF]
, 2015 Cleaner fishes are key contributors to the health of fish communities. However, much of the information in the literature refers to tropical systems, while fewer studies have examined the activity of cleaner fish inhabiting temperate ecosystems ...

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020 Over the last 2 decades, cleaner fishes have been employed to remove external sea lice parasites from Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in sea cages. Norway, Scotland, Ireland, and the Faroe Islands combined now use ~60 million cleaner fish per year.

Transitive inference in cleaner wrasses (Labroides dimidiatus).
PLoS ONE, 2020 Transitive inference (TI) is the ability to infer unknown relationships from previous information. To test TI in non-human animals, transitive responding has been examined in a TI task where non-adjacent pairs were presented after premise pair training ...

Beyond symbiosis: cleaner shrimp clean up in culture.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Cleaner organisms exhibit a remarkable natural behaviour where they consume ectoparasites attached to "client" organisms. While this behaviour can be utilized as a natural method of parasitic disease control (or biocontrol), it is not known whether ...

The shadow of the future affects cooperation in a cleaner fish [PDF]
Current Biology, 2010 Humans show great flexibility in adjusting their levels of cooperation to account for current and future circumstances. For example, levels of cooperation are higher if there is more competition at the level of the whole population than with interacting partners and when individuals are likely to gain social prestige.

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 ...

Access to Cleaning Services Alters Fish Physiology Under Parasite Infection and Ocean Acidification
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Cleaning symbioses are key mutualistic interactions where cleaners remove ectoparasites and tissues from client fishes. Such interactions elicit beneficial effects on clients’ ecophysiology, with cascading effects on fish diversity and abundance.
