SSU rRNA metabarcode of bacteria in trout cultured in Angara river

Composition of bacterial communities associated with cultured trout sampled from a fish farm on Angara river. A chronic bacterial disease of unknown etiology was observed on this fish farm; to identify the pathogen for further studies, visibly diseased and apparently healthy fishes were taken into analysis. The primary goal of this analysis was to identify the pathogen, which turned out to be Flavobacterium psychrophilum. Although the community in diseased fishes is heavily dominated by this bacterium, other bacteria inhabiting trout were also detected.
