Vaccines, 2021 Vibrio anguillarum, a marine bacterial pathogen that causes vibriosis, is a recurrent pathogen of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus). Lumpfish is utilized as a cleaner fish in the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture in the North Atlantic region because ...

Physiological Effects of Recapture and Transport from Net-Cages in Lumpfish
Fishes, 2022 Lumpfish are widely used for removing sea lice in salmonid sea-based aquaculture. If these fish are to be harvested and used for human consumption, it is necessary to know how the physical strain associated with removing the lumpfish from the net-cages ...

Cleaner fishLabroides dimidiatusmanipulate client reef fish by providing tactile stimulation [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001 The cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus often touches 'client' reef fish dorsal fin areas with its pelvic and pectoral fins. The relative spatial positions of cleaner and client remain constant and the cleaner's head points away from the client's body. Therefore, this behaviour is not compatible with foraging and the removal of client ectoparasites. As

Parasite distribution on client reef fish determines cleaner fish foraging patterns [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2002 Recent evidence suggests that cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus effectively control parasite densities on client reef fish that actively visit them to have parasites and dead or infected tissue removed. These findings support the hypothesis that clients benefit from cleaning, However, they do not show how cleaners reduce the parasite load of their ...

Insights into the early gonad development of the protogynous ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta)
Aquaculture Reports, 2023 The reproductive biology of ballan wrasse, a popular cleaner fish species now bred in captivity, is not well understood particularly the early stages of development and their accompanying endocrine changes. The protogynous nature of this species has been

Cleaner fish cause predators to reduce aggression toward bystanders at cleaning stations [PDF]
, 2017 Mutualisms, in which both participants gain a net benefit, are ubiquitous in all ecosystems, and the importance of understanding their broader ecological context has been demonstrated many times.

Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Lumpfish, Cyclopterus lumpus, have historically been harvested throughout Atlantic Canada and are increasingly in demand as a solution to controlling sea lice in Atlantic salmon farms—a process which involves both the domestication and the transfer of ...

An overview of cleaner fish use in Ireland [PDF]
Journal of Fish Diseases, 2017 AbstractSea lice infestations represent one of the most significant challenges facing the salmon farming industry, giving rise to lost production, additional costs of treatment and potential negative interactions with wild stocks. At present, cleaner fish, which actively remove lice from salmon, are an effective, biological, long‐term option which has ...

Colour change and assortment in the western rainbowfish [PDF]
, 2010 Grouping behaviour is widespread across the animal kingdom, and is known to reduce an individual's risk of predation, for example through predator confusion.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Lumpfish are utilized to combat ectoparasitic epidemics in salmon farming. Research gaps on both cleaning behavior and client preferences in a natural environment, emphasizes the need to investigate the physiological impacts on lumpfish during ...
