Metabarcoding profiling of microbial diversity associated with trout fish farming

Abstract Earthy and musty off-flavors are routinely observed in farmed trout worldwide. The microbial association to the production of those off-flavors was previously reported.

description Abstract Earthy and musty off-flavors are routinely observed in farmed trout worldwide. The microbial association to the production of those off-flavors was previously reported. The current manuscript aimed to catalog the microbial enrichment (eukaryotes and prokaryotes) in semi-intensive aquaculture freshwater sources that might influence the trout aquaculture quality production. The 16S rRNA and ITS metabarcoding analyses were applied on the inflow- and pond-water samples from trout farms previously recorded a malodor fish products and located alongside Moosach and Sempt Rivers in Bavaria province, Germany. The results showed that more than 99% of the detected prokaryotic OTUs (Operational Taxonomic Unit identification) were bacteria as of ~ 75.57% were Proteobacteria, and ~ 14.4% were Bacteroidetes. Meanwhile, 118 out of 233 of the eukaryotic OTUs were known species. Of these, ~ 45% were plant pathogens, and ~ 28% were mushroom/yeasts. Based on the comparative analysis between inflow- and pond-water samples, several pro- and eukaryotic microorganisms that affect the trout aquaculture water quality and industry have been detected, including the malodor-producing microorganisms, e.g., Cyanobacteria and Actinobacteria, along with fish infectious microorganisms, e.g., Chilodonella cyprinid, Metschnikowia bicuspidate. Additionally, the effect of the human- and industrial-related activities around the sampling area on the microbiota of the investigated farms were highlighted.
