Environmental plasticity and colonisation history in the Atlantic salmon microbiome: a translocation experiment

Salmon microbiome is sensitive to environmental factors during early life.

For fish farmers this means early rearing condition affect the microbiome development and potentially the health of the fish throughout life.

This exciting new study by Dr Tamsyn Uren Webster and co-authors opens an exciting path of future research aiming to improve fish health by promoting the development of a healthy microbiome in early life.
