Multi-omics dataset of individual variations in growth performance of large yellow croaker.

Large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) is a highly economically important marine fish species in China. However, substantial individual variations in growth performance have emerged as a limiting factor for the sustainable development of the large yellow croaker industry. Gut microbiota plays a crucial role in fish growth and development by regulating metabolic processes.

Metagenomic and Metabolomic Analyses Reveal the Role of Gut Microbiome-Associated Metabolites in the Muscle Elasticity of the Large Yellow Croaker ().

The large yellow croaker (LYC, ) is highly regarded for its delicious taste and unique flavor. The gut microbiota has the ability to affect the host muscle performance and elasticity by regulating nutrient metabolism. The purpose of this study is to establish the relationship between muscle quality and intestinal flora in order to provide reference for the improvement of the muscle elasticity of LYC.
