A rockmover wrasse being cleaned by Hawaiian cleaner wrasses on a reef in Hawaii. Some manini and a filefish wait their turn. A cleaning station is a location where aquatic life congregate to be cleaned by smaller beings.
There are two types of cleaner fish, obligate full time cleaners and facultative part time cleaners [1] where different strategies occur based on resources and local abundance of fish. [1] Cleaning behaviour takes place in pelagic waters as well as designated locations called cleaner stations. [8]
A new fish cleaning station is open at Lampe Marina for fishermen and women, 24 hours a day, through Oct. 31. "This is a big day for all the fishermen in Erie, Pennsylvania," said Jerry...
The best known cleaning symbioses are among marine fishes, where several species of small fish, notably of wrasse, are specialised in colour, pattern and behaviour as cleaners, providing a cleaning and ectoparasite removal service to larger, often predatory fish.
The Barracuda III fish cleaning station is seen at the North Bayshore boat landing in Oconto. The station was closed Monday, May 6, 2024, due to repeated cloggings.
The stations, funded at about $500,000 each, are located at Mazurik Access Area near Marblehead, Huron River Boat Access and Avon Lake Boat Launch. State-of-the-art fish cleaning stations...
Bluestreak cleaner wrasses clean to consume ectoparasites on client fish for food. The bigger fish recognise them as cleaner fish because they have a lateral stripe along the length of their bodies, [9] and by their movement patterns.
These shrimp assemble around cleaning stations where up to 25 shrimp live in proximity. When a potential client fish swims close to a station with shrimp present, several shrimp perform a "rocking dance," a side-to-side movement.
The false cleanerfish primarily lives in coral reef margins among the cleaning stations of the bluestreak cleaner wrasse ( Labroides dimidiatus ), [2] and are usually seen near locations of one or more L. dimidiatus. [6] With its territory primarily overlapping with its model fish, the false cleanerfish mimics both the appearance and ...
These small fish maintain cleaning stations where other fish congregate and perform specific movements to attract the attention of the cleaners.
