Trawling along the sea bottom can result in significant bycatch and habitat destruction.
If a neon goby sets up a cleaning station nearby, the shrimp will clean the client fish at the same time as the goby does. [5] Researchers have shown that fish recognise the sea anemone Bartholomea annulata as being a place at which the shrimps' services are likely to be available. The larger the sea anemone, the more likely fish are to visit ...
