Size Differences in Personality Profiles of the Cunner Wrasse (Tautogolabrus adspersus)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Individual animals, including fish, often differ consistently in their behaviours, which is known as personality. An individual’s values on the five axes of personality, which are activity, aggression, anxiety, boldness, and sociality, come together and form syndromes. The major syndromes, proactive or reactive, characterize an individual’s expected behaviour. The cunner wrasse, (Tautogolabrus adspersus), is the only warm-water cleaner fish for removal of sea lice from Atlantic salmon in Eastern Canada. Developing behavioural assay of the syndromes is important for industry to use to improve aquaculture because they are linked to species’ growth, cleaning efficiency, and welfare. I explored if the proactive and reactive syndromes exist in cunners and how their size influences the syndromes. The research was conducted with different sizes of cunners (n=43) in the Hagen Aqualab for three months, starting from January 2020. An open field test, scoring anxiety, and a swimming test, scoring activity, were conducted, followed by a mirror test measuring sociality and aggression. Then, a replica test was conducted to score boldness, followed by a novel object test also measuring boldness. Then, a shelter-seeking test was conducted to score anxiety. I found that cunners of all size-classes showed proactivity and reactivity. However, there was a significant difference in which components of the five axes of personality determined the two syndromes between large and small-medium cunners. These findings may develop a behavioural assay for industry to use when they breed cleaner fish to use for their desired traits, such as better growth and higher cleaning efficiency.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
