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 ...

Multi-Organ Transcriptome Response of Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) to Aeromonas salmonicida Subspecies salmonicida Systemic Infection [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 Lumpfish is utilized as a cleaner fish to biocontrol sealice infestations in Atlantic salmon farms. Aeromonas salmonicida, a Gram-negative facultative intracellular pathogen, is the causative agent of furunculosis in several fish species, including ...

The digestion time for salmon louse (Lepeoptheirus salmonis) in lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) in relation to freshness, developmental stage, and temperature. [PDF]
PLoS ONESea lice infestations cause significant economic losses in the Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry. To biologically control sea lice at farming sites, cleaner fish such as lumpfish are employed. However, the efficacy of lumpfish is under constant debate,

The Effect of Stress on the Skin Welfare of Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus Linnaeus, 1758) Broodstock [PDF]
AnimalsThe aim of this study was to build on the work already conducted in optimising lumpfish broodstock temperature, photoperiod and nutrition by providing vital information on the stress relationship between mucosal barrier functions and the sexual ...

Bycatch mitigation in the West Greenland lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) fishery using modified gillnets [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Bycatch in gillnets is a global issue and mitigation measures that balance target species catch rates, bycatch reduction and fisher support are scarce. In the North Atlantic lumpfish fisheries, bycatch includes marine mammals and seabirds, and there are ...

Ultrasonic imaging as a means of monitoring gonadal development in lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) [PDF]
Physiological Reports, 2023 The commercial farming of juvenile lumpfish requires monitoring of gonadal development to achieve synchronized production. Conventional methods such as gonadosomatic index (GSI), sex hormone analyses, gonadal histology, endoscopy, and gene expression ...

Tolerance of juvenile lumpfish (Cyclopterus Lumpus) to high rearing densities
Journal of the World Aquaculture SocietyLumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) are raised as cleaner fish for controlling sea lice. Intensive rearing is complicated by fin nipping that occurs between juvenile conspecifics.

It works! Lumpfish can significantly lower sea lice infestation in large-scale salmon farming
Biology Open, 2018 To assess the efficacy of lumpfish grazing on attached sea lice on Atlantic salmon, six large-scale sea cages, (130 m circumference, 37,688 m3 volume) each stocked with approximately 200,000 salmon 0+ smolts, were stocked with a 4, 6 and 8% density (8000,
