Behavioral and depth preference for wrasse (Labridae) used as cleaner fish in salmon aquaculture
(Master thesis, 2023-06-02)Wild and farmed wrasse are used as cleaner fish in Norwegian salmon aquaculture as a biological remedy against the ectoparasite salmon lice. For wrasse to be a well-functioning cleaner fish, it is essential that the species ... -
"A cleaner break" - Genetic analysis identifies two major groups of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) within Scandinavia and evidence of phenotype derived divergence
(Master thesis, 2019-06-21)For a long time, sea lice have represented the major financial and fish welfare challenge of the salmonid farming industry. In the late 1980s, the use of parasite-eating cleaner fish, first and foremost wrasses (family ... -
