Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farmed in seawater in Tasmania (lutruwita) can experience temperatures close to their thermotolerance limit during summer. Gut microbiome data from eight successive annual surveys and a specific survey of GI tract mucosa and digesta bacterial cross-sectional distributions indicated members of the genus Aliivibrio, Vibrio, and an unclassified Mycoplasmoidaceae are the main colonizers of the gut mucosal layer in Tasmanian farmed salmon. Peak abundance levels are reached after 7-8 months, corresponding to the late summer, following the transfer of hatchery smolt to seawater farms. Salmon Aliivibrio isolates comprise three novel non-bioluminescent species distinct from species found in the northern hemisphere growing regions. Along with other Aliivibrio species these species share many genes required for host colonization and biofilm formation and also include species and strain-level dependent features. Two of the novel Aliivibrio species surprisingly possessed genes for cytolethal distending toxin while the more predominant species lacked any known virulence genes. The overall observations suggest a small number of species actively colonize the mucosal layer of Atlantic salmon farmed in Tasmania and that this process is strongly influenced by the environmental temperature.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
