摘要
The behaviour of lumpfish, Cyclopterus lumpus L., in sea pens, with and without Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., present, was assessed by underwater camera technology. Behaviour was classified by recording the principal activity of individual fish for 30-s intervals. The majority of daylight time was spent actively foraging for food. Antagonistic behaviour between Atlantic salmon and lumpfish was not observed during the whole experimental period and no mortality was seen in either species. Cleaning behaviour, but at low frequency, was observed as lumpfish cleaned sea lice off Atlantic salmon. Significantly lower sea lice infection levels were seen on Atlantic salmon when reared together with lumpfish compared to the control group without lumpfish. Feeding behaviour can be classified as strongly opportunistic.
