A recent study explored the intestinal microbiota of Atlantic salmon during the seawater transfer process and found that gradually exposing the fish to changes in salinity led to a greater diversity in their intestinal bacterial communities – which could be associated with greater resilience and improved health. |

There is wide consensus that the health and well-being of fish is highly influenced by their microbiota, which can play a fundamental role in different biological processes such as metabolism and immune response of the fish. |
