Microbiota of Salmo salar

The main goal of the study was to determine the effect of feeding a high carbohydrate/low protein diet to Atlantic salmon (Salmon salar)in gut microbiota communities. Here, we detected significant differences between the treatment high carbohydrate/low protein diet the control group (medium carbohydrate/medium protein diet) in gut microbiota composition. Further studies for a better understanding of the metabolic and physiological implications of this change in gut microbiota communities in carnivorous fish fed high carbohydrate diet are required.
