The impact of culture systems on the gut microbiota and gut metabolome of bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The gut microbiota of fish confers various effects on the host, including health, nutrition, metabolism, feeding behaviour, and immune response. Environment significantly impacts the community structure of fish gut microbiota. However, there is a lack of comprehensive research on the gut microbiota of bighead carp in culture systems. To demonstrate the impact of culture systems on the gut microbiome and metabolome in bighead carp and investigate a potential relationship between fish muscle quality and gut microbiota, we conducted a study using 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid sequencing, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques on bighead carp in three culture systems.

Results

Our study revealed significant differe
