Epidermal Microbiomes of Leopard Sharks (<i>Triakis semifasciata</i>) Are Consistent across Captive and Wild Environments

Epidermal Microbiomes of Leopard Sharks (<i>Triakis semifasciata</i>) Are Consistent across Captive and Wild Environments

Characterizations of shark-microbe systems in wild environments have outlined patterns of species-specific microbiomes; however, whether captivity affects these trends has yet to be determined. We used high-throughput shotgun sequencing to assess the epidermal microbiome belonging to leopard sharks...
