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...
