The variation of intestinal autochthonous bacteria in cultured tiger pufferfish Takifugu rubripes.

ABSTRACT: Intestinal autochthonous bacteria play important roles in the maintenance of the physiological homeostasis of animals, especially contributing to the host immune system. In the present study, the variation of autochthonous bacterial community in the intestinal tract of 2-7 months-old tiger pufferfish Takifugu rubripes and bacterial communities in the seawater of recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) and the following offshore sea cage aquaculture system (OSCS) were analyzed during the aquaculture period from May to October 2021. Proteobacteria was found to be the most dominant phyla in both intestinal and seawater bacterial communities, which accounted for 68.82% and 65.65% of the total bacterial abundance, respectively. Arcobacter was the most core bacterial taxon in the in
