Testing a simple energy-budget model for yolk-feeding stages of cleaner fish
The use of cleaner fish is an environmentally-friendly approach to combat the salmon louse, threatening commercial salmon farming. Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) modelling helps understand the bioenergetics of early life stages of the cleaner fish, and can thereby aid optimisation of their culturing. H...

The use of cleaner fish is an environmentally-friendly approach to combat the salmon louse, threatening commercial salmon farming. Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) modelling helps understand the bioenergetics of early life stages of the cleaner fish, and can thereby aid optimisation of their culturing. Here, we report on our attempts to parametrise DEBkiss models for the yolk-feeding stages of two cleaner fish species, ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) and lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus). A range of measurements was taken over early development, including biometry (using imaging), weight and composition, as well as measurements of respiration rate. Despite the previous success of applying the DEBkiss model to early life stages of Atlantic cod, the model failed to capture the patterns of yolk depletion for ballan wrasse. The main issues were related to substantial changes in the water content of both yolk and structure over development, and a stop of growth before disappearance of the yolk sac.
