The intestinal microbiota of salmonids typically characterize by few dominating species. Healthy fish coexist with a mutualistic Mycoplasma sp. species, while stress allows the spread of pathogenic strains such as Aliivibrio sp. After a skin infection, the Mycoplasma does not recover; Aliivibrio sp. often remains the dominant species, or Mycoplasma-Aliivibrio coexistence was occasionally observed, which definitely decrease the growth rate of the fish.

There are many different ways to generate genotype-phenotype relationships. Among the simplest is to treat each genotype-phenotype pair as a pair of isolated vectors and calculate their statistical relationship. Even then, there are options such as which type of statistical association to calculate and how to adapt the technique to different experimental conditions. We used this approach, but we also looked wider and used an approach which considers the dataset more holistically (attribution method) and the research field more broadly (KGE method).
16-20 September 2024
