Summary: Silver carp is an invasive fish in Gobindsagar reservoir, India, with profound impacts. Analysis of microbial composition in gut regions and water samples revealed distinct microbial communities and niche specialization in different gut regions. Proteobacteria was the most abundant phylum, and the gut microbiota specialized in digestive functions in different regions, reflecting the dietary profile of silver carp.

Summary: Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are used to grow fish, with biofilters containing nitrogen-cycling microorganisms. This study compared the microbial communities of RAS water and biofilter with the gut and gill microbiomes of zebrafish and common carp. The location of sampling had a stronger effect on community composition than the fish species, with distinct differences observed between the fish-associated microbiomes and the RAS microbiomes.

Summary: This study compares the composition of microbiota in the intestines of wild and aquaculture red cusk-eel and finds significant differences between the two. The microbiota in aquaculture conditions is dominated by Firmicutes, while in the wild conditions it is dominated by Tenericutes. Differences in predicted metabolic pathways were also observed, with a focus on lipid metabolism in the wild conditions.

Summary: Given the potential role of bile salts in lipid digestion, this study evaluated the effects of bile salts supplementation on gut immune response and microbial populations in gilthead seabream. The results showed differential modulation of the microbiota in the anterior and posterior intestine, as well as changes in gene expression related to intestinal health and immune response. Overall, bile salts supplementation could enhance fish farming without compromising intestinal health.

Summary: Incorporating environmentally sustainable plant-based protein sources into aquafeeds is important, but the effects of specific plant proteins on different fish species need to be evaluated. Previous studies showed that wheat gluten at less than 4% inclusion had a negative impact on the growth and survival rate of juvenile cobia. In this study, the effects of wheat gluten inclusion in a plant-based diet for juvenile European sea bass were evaluated, and it was found that 4% dietary wheat gluten was well tolerated by the fish.

Summary: This study used genomic reconstruction modeling to infer the metabolic attributes and nutritional requirements of 816 gut strains, focusing on vitamin exchanges at different levels of community organization. The results showed that only 91 strains could satisfy their vitamin requirements, while the rest showed various degrees of dependence on external sources. The study also revealed marked metabolic differences in human gut microbial community enterotype indicators. Additionally, pre-defined interaction modules of gut species driven by, or independent of vitamin exchanges were identified.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of a stabilized fermentation product of Cetobacterium somerae (XMX-1) on the growth performance, gut, and liver health of common carp. The results showed that the addition of XMX-1 reduced serum lipopolysaccharide and diamine oxidase activity, increased intestinal total superoxide dismutase activity, and regulated the expression of certain genes. Furthermore, XMX-1 supplementation decreased serum alanine aminotransferase and liver triacylglycerol levels, and influenced the expression of genes related to liver lipid metabolism. L-XMX-1 at a level of 3 g/kg had the best effect on fish health.

Summary: This study analyzed temporal changes in the microbiome associated with the intestine in Atlantic salmon during smolt production, finding a sharp decline in microbial diversity 1-week post-seawater transfer (SWT) followed by re-establishment with a different community structure after 4 weeks. Core microbial taxa were classified into three categories: omnipresent, salinity specific, and transient. Additionally, an increase in microbial richness in the water was observed, possibly due to a temporal increase in organic load, while dominance of Vibrionaceae was attributed to higher temperatures during RAS production.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
