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 ...
A fishery is socially sustainable if the fishery ecosystem maintains the ability to deliver products the society can use. Major species shifts within the ecosystem could be acceptable as long as the flow of such products continues. [2] Humans have been operating such regimes for thousands of years, transforming many ecosystems, depleting or ...
Fish preservation is the method of increasing the shelf life of fish and other fish products by applying the principles of different branches of science in order to keep the fish, after it has landed, in a condition wholesome and fit for human consumption. [1][2] Ancient methods of preserving fish included drying, salting, pickling and smoking.
Cleaning symbiosis is a mutually beneficial association between individuals of two species, where one (the cleaner) removes and eats parasites and other materials from the surface of the other (the client). Cleaning symbiosis is well-known among marine fish, where some small species of cleaner fish, notably wrasses but also species in other ...

These small fish maintain so-called "cleaning stations" where other fish, known as hosts, will congregate and perform specific movements to attract the attention of the cleaner fish. [26] Cleaning behaviours have been observed in a number of other fish groups, including an interesting case between two cichlids of the same genus, Etroplus ...
The territorial fish protects the anemone from anemone-eating fish, and in turn, the anemone stinging tentacles protect the clownfish from its predators. A special mucus on the clownfish protects it from the stinging tentacles. [43] A further example is the goby, a fish which sometimes lives together with a shrimp. The shrimp digs and cleans up ...
