Mechanistic insights into the early life stage microbiota of silver pompano (Trachinotus blochii).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Deep investigations of host-associated microbiota can illuminate microbe-based solutions to improve production in an unprecedented manner. The poor larval survival represents the critical bottleneck in sustainable marine aquaculture practices. However, little is known about the microbiota profiles and their governing eco-evolutionary processes of the early life stages of marine teleost, impeding the development of suitable beneficial microbial management strategies. The study provides first-hand mechanistic insights into microbiota and its governing eco-evolutionary processes in early life stages of a tropical marine teleost model, Trachinotus blochii.

Methods

The microbiota profiles and their dynamics from the first day of hatching till the end of metamo
