Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how a plant-protein diet and stress (from being chased) affect the gut mucus microbiota of rainbow trout across two different genetic lines.
- No significant changes in fish performance were noted due to diet or stress, but greater microbiota diversity was found in fish on a fishmeal-based diet (F) compared to a plant-based diet (V).
- The results suggest that while diet is a key factor in shaping gut microbiota, the impact is influenced by the stress levels of the fish, with stressed fish showing more pronounced diet-related differences.
Background: The aim of the present study was to characterize the effects of handling stress on the microbiota in the intestinal gut contents of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed a plant-based diet from two different breeding lines (initial body weights: A: 124.69 g, B: 147.24 g).
