Fish Gills Host a Previously Unknown Microbiome
Original: Fish Gills Host Previously Unknown Microbiome
Scientists have discovered that fish gills carry their own distinct microbiome, a community of microbes previously unknown to science. The finding suggests gills, long studied mainly for respiration, also serve as a specialised microbial habitat, potentially reshaping understanding of fish health, aquaculture disease management and how aquatic animals interact with their watery environment.
Why now: New scientific research has revealed an unexpected microbial community in fish gills, drawing attention to its implications for marine biology and aquaculture.
