“…As mentioned above, cleaning gobies exhibit distinct preferences towards some client species over others: e.g. they express these biases by cleaning a greater proportion of visiting individuals of some species over others (Soares et al, 2007), spending more time inspecting these species (Arnal & Côté, 2000), and by attending to these preferred visitors most quickly (Soares et al, 2007).…”

“…Notably, piscivorous clients are hardly made to wait (Soares et al, 2007) as cleaners' fast takeover of the situation helps to mitigate potential harmful consequences (see Soares et al, 2012). However, these tests were done with E. evelynae, which are solely observed as cleaners and never as sponge dwellers.…”

“…For instance: cleaning gobies dash to inspect predators' despite of not gaining more foraging benefits (i.e. ectoparasites; Soares et al, 2007) and, cleaner wrasses are known to start any interaction with predators with the exclusive provision of tactile stimulation (also known as 'massages' -cleaners touch clients with their pectoral and pelvic fins; a behaviour that is incompatible with foraging), particularly when inspecting hungry piscivorous (Bshary & Wurth, 2001;Grutter, 2004). This raised questions regarding cleaners' appraisal of fear, or if these fish could be suffering from a kind of "heterospecific boldness syndrome" which would enable them to happily deal with dangerous clients.…”

Animal-focused research has been crucial for scientific advancement however, in this matter, rodents are still taking a starring role. Coming out from merely being supportive of evidence found in rodents, the use of fish models has slowly taken a more central role and expanded its overall contributions in areas such as social sciences, evolution, physiology, and recently in translational medical research. In neurosciences, zebrafish has been widely adopted, contributing to our understanding of the genetic control of brain processes, and the effects of pharmacological manipulations. However, discussion continues regarding the paradox of function versus structure, when fish and mammals are compared, and on the potentially evolutionarily conserved nature of behaviour across fish species. From the behavioural stand point we explorted aversive/stress and social behaviour in selected fish models, and refer to the extensive contributions of stress and monoaminergic systems. We suggest that, in spite of marked neuroanatomical differences between fish and mammals, stress and sociality are conserved at the behavioural and molecular levels. We also suggest that stress and sociality are mediated by monoamines in predictable and non-trivial ways, and that monoamines could “bridge” the relationship between stress and social behaviour. To reconcile the level of divergence with the level of similarity, neuroanatomy, pharmacology, behavioural analysis, and ecology studies conducted in the laboratory and in nature need to add to each other and enhance our understanding of fish behaviour and ultimately how this all may translate to better model systems for translational studies.

“…For instance: field observations showed that cleaning gobies do clean preferentially clients with more parasites but also that both predatory and non-predatory clients usually harbour similar ectoparasite loads; nevertheless, predators are attended immediately upon arrival at cleaning stations (Soares et al, 2007). On the other hand, cleaner wrasses are known to start any interaction with predators with the exclusive provision of tactile stimulation (also known as 'massages' -cleaners touch clients with their pectoral and pelvic fins; a behaviour that is incompatible with foraging), particularly when inspecting hungry piscivores (Bshary & Wurth, 2001;Grutter, 2004).…”

are most active at dawn. These data suggest that the services provided by cleaner shrimp and cleaner gobies, rather than client identity, independently structure these interactions and drive the discordance in usage patterns between cleaner type. We propose two non-exclusive hypotheses to explain the differences in the temporal patterns of activity between cleaner gobies and A. pedersoni: (1) the proximate causes driving fish visitation rate (e.g., parasite removal or tactile stimulation) to goby and shrimp stations differ, and (2) each cleaner type targets different ectoparasites that differ temporally in their diel infestation rate on reef fish. Our study provides an important rationale for pursuing these questions and broadens our understanding of cleaning services on Caribbean coral reefs.
