Cleaner fish. Cleaner fish are fish that show a specialist feeding strategy [ 1 ] by providing a service to other species, referred to as clients, [ 2 ] by removing dead skin, ectoparasites, and infected tissue from the surface or gill chambers. [ 2 ] This example of cleaning symbiosis represents mutualism and cooperation behaviour, [ 3 ] an ...

Cleaning symbiosis is well-known among marine fish, where some small species of cleaner fish, notably wrasses but also species in other ...

The Orthodon genus is monotypical, making the blackfish the sole member of the genus and a generally unvaried species. [2] Despite its unique characteristics, the blackfish ...
Cleaning stations may be associated with coral reefs, located either on top of a coral head or in a slot between two outcroppings. Other cleaning stations may be located under large clumps of floating seaweed or at an accepted point in a river or lagoon. Cleaning stations are an exhibition of mutualism. Cleaner fish also, obviously, affect ...
