On tropical coral reefs, various species of small fish act as 'cleaners' for large fish, removing parasites from their mouths and gills.

We demonstrate that eGFP expression in this strain of fish acts as an accurate and reproducible indicator of cell-specific induction of hsp70 gene expression.
Forage fish are small fish that act as food for game fish.
