Co-modulation of Liver Genes and Intestinal Microbiome of Largemouth Bass Larvae (Micropterus salmoides) During Weaning.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, largemouth bass have become one of the most commonly aquacultured species in China, however, its low survival rate during larval weaning has always been a bottleneck that has restricted industrial development. Understanding the changes in liver metabolism and intestinal microflora during the weaning of largemouth bass larvae can help to design better weaning strategies and improve survival. In this study, liver mRNA and intestinal microflora 16S rRNA genes were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing at the pre, mid, and post weaning stages [15, 30, 45 days post hatching; total length (cm) were 2.21 ± 0.12, 3.45 ± 0.21, 5.29 ± 0.33, respectively]. The transcriptome results revealed that the genes with increased expression were related to amino acid metabolism in the pre-
