“…Spinal deformities have also been reported from farmed Atlantic salmon, with several environmental and nutritional conditions being potential risk factors (Fjelldal et al, 2012). Developmental anomalies of the tail region have been reported from wild‐caught lumpfish (Rusyaev et al, 2019). An abnormal skull formation, termed ‘pugheadedness’, has been observed in wild‐caught goldsinny wrasse (Treasurer, 1994).…”

Combating and controlling sea lice causes large economic costs for the farmers, with estimated values of more than 305 million euros (€) per year. Increased resistance against traditional chemotherapeutants due to evolutionary drivers in the sea lice combined with the lack of an effective vaccine and few other chemical treatments available are expected to cause these costs to increase. Several possible methods for managing sea lice infestations have been investigated, but only cleaner fish has proven to have an effect on lice levels. Cleaning activity is well known in marine fish and has been observed in the wild as a form of symbiosis between two species: one species, the 'client' fish, seek out the other species, the 'cleaner' fish, to have ectoparasites and dead tissue cleared from its body. The Atlantic lumpfish is a relatively new aquaculture species, and wild-caught mature fish are used as brood stock for farmed production. This poses a biosecurity risk, as wild fish can carry pathogens, and the use of quarantine and health screening is recommended. Vaccine development is unfortunately lagging far behind relatively to the wide spread and high utilisation of the fish. This review contains description of the main pathogens and diseases that affect cleaner fish.
