This study examines how early life stress affects the microbiome of Atlantic salmon fry, finding that both acute and chronic stressors alter gut and skin microbial communities, promoting pathogenic bacteria and reducing beneficial taxa.

This study shows that stress-induced cortisol in Atlantic salmon affects faecal microbiome diversity and structure, while skin-mucus cortisol does not impact the skin microbiome.

This study evaluates the quantitative accuracy of DNA metabarcoding for assessing fish larvae community composition compared to morphological identification, finding strong correlations and reliable abundance estimates.

This study examines microbiome variation in Atlantic salmon populations, finding that genetic and environmental factors shape microbial diversity and structure in skin and gut.
