Characterization and Analysis of Skin- and Intestine-associated Microbiomes of Fish in the Lower Northwest Passage of Nunavut, Canada (2019)

The Towards a Sustainable Fishery for Nunavummiut (TSFN) Project seeks to increase our understanding of the fisheries resources in the lower Northwest Passage in partnership with Nunavummiut communities. Our goal is to use genomic, demographic, physiological and microbial analysis to inform strategies to retain genetically-diverse and healthy stocks for the sustainable supply of high quality fish to Inuit communities. Genetic analysis will allow the identification of fish populations, but it is also important to assess the health of this resource. We are therefore characterizing fish with respect to their microbial consortia.

努纳武特因纽特人可持续渔业项目（Towards a Sustainable Fishery for Nunavummiut，简称TSFN）旨在与努纳武特因纽特人社区携手合作，深化对西北航道下游区域渔业资源的认知。本项目的核心目标为：通过基因组学、种群统计学、生理学及微生物学分析，为相关策略制定提供科学依据，以保留遗传多样性充足且健康的渔业种群资源，进而为因纽特人社区可持续供应高品质鱼类。遗传分析可实现鱼类种群的识别，但评估该渔业资源的健康状况同样不可或缺。因此，我们正针对鱼类的微生物群落开展特征表征研究。
