Shifts in pond water bacterial communities are associated with the health status of sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus)

Sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) is the third largest maricultured fish in terms of abundance on mainland China. However, sea bass has been reported to be susceptible to infection by a series of microbial pathogens, endangering the sustainable development of its mariculture. Therefore, there is a ne...
