Gut Microbiome Succession in Chinese Mitten Crab Eriocheir sinensis During Seawater-Freshwater Migration.

ABSTRACT: Biological migration is usually associated with disturbances and environmental changes that are key drivers in determining the diversity, community compositions, and function of gut microbiome. However, little is known about how gut microbiome is affected by disturbance such as salinity changes during migration from seawater to freshwater. Here, we tracked the gut microbiome succession of Chinese mitten crabs (Eriocheir sinensis) during their migrations from seawater to freshwater and afterward using 16S rDNA sequencing for 127 days, and explored the temporal patterns in microbial diversity and the underlying environmental factors. The species richness of gut microbiome showed a hump-shaped trend over time during seawater-freshwater migration. The community dissimilarities of gut mi
