F. Cadwallader & J. R. Turner & S. P. Oliver Received: 2 September 2014 /Revised: 27 October 2014 /Accepted: 10 November 2014 /Published online: 3 December 2014 Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014 The cleaning system is a classic model for cooperative (Oliver et al. 2011)(Fig. 1). The morphology of the behaviour among species in which cleaner fish or parasites, and measurements carried out revealed that shrimps remove parasites and/or dead tissue from clients the samples belonged to the genus Paronatrema that pose at stations to solicit services from them (Côté (Dollfus 1937) (Family: Syncoeliidae). 2000). Sharks, including pelagic thresher sharks, host a Previous observations made at this site showed that variety of ectoparasites that may affect their health and cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus and Thalassoma fitness (Oliver et al. 2011). While ectoparasitic lunare) preferentially forage in the pelvic region of digeneans have been observed to infect thresher sharks thresher sharks (Oliver et al. 2011). Since no other (Curran and Overstreet 2000), their association with species of parasite was found in this area
