The body of work relating to the gut microbiota of fish is dwarfed by that on humans and
mammals. However, it is a field that has had historical interest and has grown significantly …

Aquatic ecosystems are under increasing stress from global anthropogenic and natural
changes, including climate change, eutrophication, ocean acidification, and pollution. In this …

It is well known that healthy gut microbiota is essential to promote host health and well‐
being. The intestinal microbiota of endothermic animals as well as fish are classified as …

Functional diversity is increasingly recognized by microbial ecologists as the essential link
between biodiversity patterns and ecosystem functioning, determining the trophic …

Aims Due to the strong influence of the gut microbiota on fish health, dominant bacterial
species in the gut are strong candidates for probiotics. This study aimed to characterize the …

High‐throughput sequencing approaches have enabled characterizations of the community
composition of numerous gut microbial communities, which in turn has enhanced interest in …

We used high throughput pyrosequencing to characterize stomach and gut content
microbiomes of Crassostrea virginica, the Easter oyster, obtained from two sites, one in …

Skin microbiota of Gulf of Mexico fishes were investigated by ribosomal internal spacer
analysis (RISA) and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. A total of 102 fish specimens representing …

Macroplastics are ubiquitous in aquaculture ecosystems. However, to date the potential role
of plastics as a support for bacterial biofilm that can include potential human pathogenic …

The resident microbiota of three oyster species (Crassostrea corteziensis, Crassostrea gigas
and Crassostrea sikamea) was characterised using a high-throughput sequencing approach …
