Information about commensalism

February 20, 1999
From: Kara Hailey

I am doing a research project for my Biology of fishes class. I was wondering if you could possibly give me some information on the Genus and species names of fish or other marine animals that are involved in commensalism.

I am a Marine Biology major at the College of Charleston.

Hailey, K., 1999 (Feb 20) Information about commensalism. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/592

Dear Kara,
This is a Sea Slug Site rather than a fish site. However if you go to the GENERAL TOPICS index you will find two pages which discuss Symbiosis and Commensalism. By chance, one of the pages has a link to Bob Bolland's Okinawa Slug Site where he has a set of pictures of nudibranch which appears to live commensally with a few species of fish (gobies).

You will find more messages about commensals below your message on this page.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
