Abstract:As an omnivorous fish, wild tilapia feed on both animal and plant foods, depending on what is available. To understand the nutritional function of the gut microbiota of tilapia, we used shotgun metagenomic sequencing, untargeted metabolomics analysis, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing to study the metabolites and gut microbial communities in tilapia eating different diets (artemia nauplii in the carnivorous diet; plant‐based pelleted feed [PBP] in the herbivorous diet; and a mixture of these two in the omnivorous d… Show more
