“…The use of cleaner fish as biological treatment to combat sea lice infestation in Norwegian salmon farming has reached unprecedented levels (Blanco Gonzalez & de Boer, 2017), with more than 54 million fish used in 2017 (Statistics Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries: http://www.fiskeridir.no/Akvakultur/Statistikk-akvakultur/ Akvakulturstatistikk-tidsserier/Rensefisk).
