<strong>Alpha diversity analyses results for the different experiments and the contribution in percentage of the different phyla considering replicates. </strong>We studied fish epithelium mucus effect on natural bacterial assemblages at Puyuhuapi fjord in Chilean Patagonia. Mucus was added to seawater coming from 2 and 100 m depth and the active composition (i-tag 16S rRNA) were followed for 24 h. The results showed a significant response from the microbial community but only at surface depth after 2 and 6 h of incubation.
