Lumpfish
Norwegian: Rognkjeks
Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) is a round, lumpy fish used as a biological delousing agent in salmon farming. Lumpfish eat sea lice directly off the salmon and are the most commonly used cleaner fish species in Norwegian aquaculture. The species is produced in dedicated hatcheries and stocked in net pens when weighing 10-50 grams. Lumpfish have lower water temperature requirements than wrasse and therefore perform better in northern Norway.
