Antibiotic resistance in mucosal bacteria from high Arctic migratory salmonids
Two related salmonids, Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) and lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) sampled from the high Arctic region of Nunavut, Canada are anadromous fish, migrating annually from the same ice‐covered freshwater waterbodies to spend summers in the marine waters of the Arctic Ocea...
