Personality profiling may help select better cleaner fish for sea-lice control in salmon farming

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) are increasingly being used as cleaner fish to control parasitic sea-lice in salmon farming, but cleaning rates are very variable and not all individuals eat sea-lice, which increases the risk of emaciation and has ethical ...
