Using a length-weight relationship based on wild lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) for estimation of body condition of lumpfish in salmon cages. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe use of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) as cleaner fish in Atlantic salmon aquaculture has emerged as a promising solution to combat the issue of sea lice infestation, as they have proven effective under the right conditions. The aquaculture industry,

Global, regional, and cryptic population structure in a high gene-flow transatlantic fish [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) is a transatlantic marine fish displaying large population sizes and a high potential for dispersal and gene-flow. These features are expected to result in weak population structure.

Transcriptome-wide analyses of early immune responses in lumpfish leukocytes upon stimulation with poly(I:C) [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 BackgroundBoth bacterial and viral diseases are a major threat to farmed fish. As the antiviral immune mechanisms in lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) are poorly understood, lumpfish leukocytes were stimulated with poly(I:C), a synthetic analog of double ...
