Microbial communities associated with the gut and the skin are strongly influenced by
environmental factors, and can rapidly adapt to change. Historical processes may also affect …

In recent years, a wealth of studies has examined the relationships between a host and its
microbiome across diverse taxa. Many studies characterize the host microbiome without …

Although understood in many vertebrate systems, the natural diversity of host-associated
microbiota has been little studied in teleosts. For migratory fishes, successful exploitation of …

Teleost fish represent an invaluable repertoire of host species to study the factors shaping
animal-associated microbiomes. Several studies have shown that the phylogenetic structure …

Background Mucosal surfaces of fish provide cardinal defense against environmental
pathogens and toxins, yet these external mucosae are also responsible for maintaining and …

The gut microbiome plays a key role in animal health and metabolism through the intricate
functional interconnection between the feed, gut microbes, and the host. Unfortunately, in …

Stocking methods are used in the Province of Quebec to restore Salmo salar populations.
However, Atlantic salmon stocked juveniles show higher mortality rates than wild ones when …

Fish skin-associated microbial communities are highly variable among populations and
species and can impact host fitness. Still, the sources of variation in microbiome …
