Microbiome dataset from a marine recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) for salmon post-smolt production in Norway.

ABSTRACT: A marine aquaculture recycling system (RAS) for the production of post-smolt was monitored for microbial community structures during the first year of operation. Sample material was obtained monthly from the biofilter biofilm carriers, the production water (tank 3), the fish skin (tank 3) and the tank 3 wall biofilm. Additional samples were taken during outbreaks of fish skin wounds, washing of the plant, UV filtration of the inlet water and from various wall biofilms. Samples for depth profiles from all fish tanks were also collected. The sampling tools were a ladle for capturing biofilter biofilm carriers, toothbrushes for wall biofilm capture, filters for capture of water microbes and scalpels for skin tissue slicing. The sampling times were indicated by the production cycle number (cyc
