Characterization of skin- and intestine microbial communities in migrating High Arctic lake whitefish and cisco
At high latitudes, lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) and others in the closely related Coregonus species complex (CSC) including cisco (C. autumnalis and C. sardinella) can be diadromous, seasonally transitioning between freshwater lakes and the Arctic Ocean. CSC skin- and intestine microbiome...
