Abstract excerpt
Standard metabolic rate (SMR) influences growth, behaviour and energy use in fish, yet its relationship with gut microbiota remains unclear. Here, we combined physiological measurements with 16S rRNA sequencing of foregut and hindgut tissue to test whether gut microbial communities differ with metabolic phenotype in juvenile Atlantic salmon. High-SMR fish showed greater growth efficiency and lower body water...
