Simple Summary The intestinal microbiota of Larimichthys crocea changes as fish grow, but these changes do not necessarily follow a simple progression toward a more stable community. In this study, fish from the same cultured population were maintained in the same culture pond and sampled successively at three body-siz...
Gut microbiome development during fish growth involves not only taxonomic turnover but also changes in the persistence and ecological dominance of microbial members. Here, we characterized the gut microbiota of D. maruadsi across three successive growth-associated body-size groups: the early-growth group (BLEGC; 4.98–6...

External mucosal surfaces form major interfaces between fish and the aquatic environment, yet their microbial succession during host growth remains incompletely resolved. We characterized the gill and skin mucus microbiota of cultured Larimichthys crocea at three successive body-size stages (5–8 g, 39–46 g, and 160–162...
It is shown that gill and skin-mucus microbiota undergo distinct patterns of growth-associated reorganization rather than a uniform developmental process.
