Fish symbiosis

Fish symbiosis involves different species living together in close relationships that benefit at least one partner. These associations can be mutualistic, where both benefit (e.g., cleaner fish removing parasites from larger fish), or commensalistic, where one benefits without harming the other (e.g., small fish hiding in larger fish’s shadows for protection). Such interactions enhance survival, health, or feeding opportunities for the participants. Fish symbiosis is a vital aspect of aquatic ecosystems, demonstrating interconnected relationships that support biodiversity and ecological balance.
