- Abstract
The silver porgy (Diplodus argenteus) is an occasional cleaner of two species of fish in the southern portion of the south-west Atlantic. We record herein for the first time this fish species associating with green turtles (Chelonia mydas) and cleaning their carapaces. Only juveniles were recorded cleaning turtles, scraping off microorganisms that fouled the carapace.
