Seasonal dynamics and factors shaping microbiomes in freshwater finfish earthen aquaculture ponds in Bangladesh
Our findings demonstrate that microbial communities in pangasius and tilapia aquaculture systems in Bangladesh are shaped by season, geographical location, crop species, as well as effects from water physicochemistry. Our results provide insights into the dynamic nature and environmental influences on water microbiomes that may be applied for use in pond management for improving aquaculture productivity and enhancement of overall fish health.
