Environmental and physiological factors shape the gut microbiota of Atlantic salmon parr (Salmo salar L.)
•Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr harbour a vast diversity of microbiota in their distal intestine digesta.•A core microbiota shared by all samples and accessory group core microbiotas were identified.•Both rearing groups showed distinct intestinal microbiota profiles, with unique group-specific m...

| Summary: | •Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr harbour a vast diversity of microbiota in their distal intestine digesta.•A core microbiota shared by all samples and accessory group core microbiotas were identified.•Both rearing groups showed distinct intestinal microbiota profiles, with unique group-specific microbes.•Maintenance of intestinal microbiota is a complex process, dictated by both environmental factors and host physiology. |
