Condition factor tailored to lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) used as cleaner fish in salmonid farms

Aquaculture Reports
Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) are extensively used as part of the control measures against salmon lice in fish farms. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on lumpfish welfare, and how to increase survival of lumpfish during production.

Changes in the Skin Proteome and Signs of Allostatic Overload Type 2, Chronic Stress, in Response to Repeated Overcrowding of Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L) is a North Atlantic species harvested for its roe and increasingly used as a cleanerfish in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) farming to remove salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis).

Delousing performance of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) and lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus): seasonal consistency and the challenge of cryptic lice for lumpfish

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Ballan wrasse and lumpfish effectively reduce sea lice on salmon year round, although lumpfish struggle with cryptic lice, highlighting new considerations for lice management. Abstract BACKGROUND Cleaner fish play a crucial role in controlling caligid sea lice in Atlantic salmon aquaculture across the North Atlantic.

Size-dependent escape risk of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) from salmonid farm nets

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021
In the last decade, the salmon aquaculture industry has considerably increased the use of lumpfish juveniles as cleaner fish. Potential escape of reared lumpfish into the wild may spread diseases or genetically contaminate wild stocks. The guidelines for minimum sizes of cleaner fish to use in aquaculture cages are currently based on simple mesh ...

A half century of monitoring reveals contrasting survival responses of Icelandic seabirds to climate and fisheries pressures

Ibis, EarlyView.
Seabirds serve as key indicators of marine environmental changes, with adult survival being a critical parameter for assessing population health. Iceland hosts some of the largest seabird populations in the North Atlantic, making it a valuable location for studying long‐term trends in seabird demographics.

Twenty-two novel microsatellite loci for lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) [PDF]

Conservation Genetics Resources, 2012
Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L. 1758) are widely distributed on both sides of the North Atlantic. They are a commercially important species, but stock size estimates have declined since the mid-1980s in Canada, Norway and Iceland. Little is known about the biology of this species, in particular the breeding migrations and population structure which are

Beyond spring season: An autumn observation of adult lumpsuckers (Cyclopterus lumpus) in coastal Norway Frøya archipelago raises questions on extended spawning activity

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract During snorkelling near Frøya, central Norway, on 6 October 2025, a pair of adult lumpsuckers (Cyclopterus lumpus) was observed engaged in apparent prespawning behaviour in shallow kelp habitat. Such activity is surprising, as the species is mainly considered a spring spawner throughout the eastern Atlantic and is the focus of a targeted ...

Consumer’s perception and acceptance of lumpfish used in salmon cages

Aquaculture International, 2023
AbstractLumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) are used as cleaner fish in salmon aquaculture to treat sea lice. However, after 18–24 months and reaching 0.4–0.6 kg, the fish is removed from the salmon cage and usually discarded, which raises social, economic, and environmental challenges, as well as ethical concerns.

Lack of Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) Susceptibility to the Infectious Salmon Anaemia Virus (ISAV) Using In Vivo Challenges

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) can cause disease and mortality in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). The virus is endemic in several regions including the Atlantic coast of Canada. Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) are increasingly utilised as cleaner fish to control sea lice levels in Atlantic salmon farms.

Interleukin-1 Ligands and Receptors in Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.): Molecular Characterization, Phylogeny, Gene Expression, and Transcriptome Analyses

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
The interleukin (IL)-1 family play a fundamental role as immune system modulators. Our previous transcriptome-analyses of leukocytes from lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) showed that IL-1β was among the most highly upregulated genes following bacterial ...
