Research highlight: Understanding microbiomes in salmon hatcheries
Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and the University of Tasmania have found that different hatchery systems for salmon greatly influence the microbial communities of the fish, which in turn may influence their overall health. These findings, published April 17 in the journal Applied Environmental Microbiology, could have impacts that determine which hatchery methods produce healthier and greater volumes of salmon.
