Abstract A variety of environmental factors have a major influence on the survival of aquatic organisms, particularly light and salinity, changes in which lead to a range of physiological changes. In the present study, we investigated the levels of stress caused by changes in salinity in the ornamental cleaner shrimp, Lysmata amboinensis, as well as the effect of specific light wavelengths following stress to changes in salinity. We measured the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and lipid peroxidation (LPO) in the tissues (gill, hepatopancreas, and muscle) for three days after irradiating shrimp with specific wavelengths of light [red (630 nm), green (520 nm), and blue (455 nm)] at two intensities (0.5 and 1.0 W/m2) following exposure to different saline environments [25 practical salinity units (psu), 30 psu, 35 psu (normal seawater), and 40 psu]. DNA damage was measured using comet assays. Although all of the experimental groups exhibited negative results to changes in salinity, the green and red light groups exhibited positive effects when compared to the other wavelengths and fluorescent light. The effect of wavelength was not influenced by the intensity. In conclusion, the light of green and red wavelengths effectively reduces antioxidant stress and cell damage in cleaner shrimp.

Abstract We analyzed the effects of 17β-estradiol (E2) injection and red light on the sexual maturation and vitellogenesis of the cleaner shrimp Lysmata amboinensis (De Man, 1888) by measuring the change of mRNA expression levels of eyestalk and vitellogenesis-related hormones induced by both factors. We examined the eyestalk crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) and vitellogenesis-inhibiting hormone (VIH) genes. The E2 injection did not affect changes of eyestalk hormones. The red light, however, caused a significant increase (P < 0.05) of CHH promoting maturity and a significant decrease of VIH, which suppressed vitellogenesis. The vitellogenin receptor (VTG-R) and mRNA expression (in situ hybridization) also caused the E2 injection and red-wavelength irradiation to induce synthesis of vitellogenin (VTG). Red-light-induced gonadal maturation, promoting hormone and VTG synthesis, but E2 did not change the eyestalk hormone. Red-light irradiation could thus be used as a novel, maturity-promoting alternative method in the culture of the species, which is different from the eyestalk-ablation method that has so far been used.

Cleaner shrimp and their reef fish clients are an interspecific mutualistic interaction that is thought to be mediated by signals, and a useful system for studying the dynamics of interspecific signalling. To demonstrate signalling, one must show that purported signals at minimum (a) result in a consistent state change in the receiver and (b) contain reliable information about the sender's intrinsic state or future behaviour. Additionally, signals must be perceptible by receivers. Here, we document fundamental attributes of the signalling system between the cleaner shrimp Ancylomenes pedersoni and its clients. First, we use sequential analysis of in situ behavioural interactions to show that cleaner antenna whipping reliably predicts subsequent cleaning. If shrimp do not signal via antenna whipping, clients triple their likelihood of being cleaned by adopting darker coloration over a matter of seconds, consistent with dark colour change signalling that clients want cleaning. Using experimental manipulations, we found that visual stimuli are sufficient to elicit antenna whipping, and that shrimp are more likely to ‘clean' dark than light visual stimuli. Lastly, we show that antenna whipping and colour change are perceptible when accounting for the intended receiver's visual acuity and spectral sensitivity, which differ markedly between cleaners and clients. Our results show that signalling by both cleaners and clients can initiate and mediate their mutualistic interaction.

AbstractCleaning mutualisms are important interactions on coral reefs. Intraspecific variation in cleaning rate and behaviour occurs geographically and is often attributed to local processes. However, our understanding of fine-scale variation is limited, but would allow us to control for geography and region-specific behavioural patterns. Here, we compare the cleaning activity of Pederson's cleaner shrimp (Ancylomenes pedersoni) on two neighbouring, yet ecologically dissimilar, reef systems in Honduras: Banco Capiro, an offshore bank close to significant land runoff with high coral cover but a depleted fish population, and an oligotrophic fringing reef around the island of Utila, with lower coral cover but high fish abundance and diversity. The proportion of realized to potential fish clientele was <60% at both sites, and the composition of clientele was neither reflective of the demographics of the resident assemblages at each site nor similar between sites. Parrotfishes represented 13–15% of total fish abundance at both sites yet accounted for >50% (Banco Capiro) and 10% (Utila) of all cleans. Conversely, the schoolmaster snapper (Lutjanus apodus) represented ~1% of total fish abundance at both sites yet accounted for 40% (Utila) and 1% (Banco Capiro) of all cleans. After standardizing our cleaning rate data by clientele abundance, we find that clientele at Banco Capiro engage in over four times as many cleaning encounters per hour with A. pedersoni than at Utila. Our study highlights the variable nature of coral reef cleaning interactions and the need to better understand the ecological and environmental drivers of this biogeographic variation.
