The 16S rRNA gene was used for taxa identification, and the ITS region for strain differentiation. We detected the presence of Vibrio , Bacillus, Photobacterium , Staphylococcus and Carnobacterium in AF, and Exiguobacterium , Klebsiella , Arthrobacter , Raoultella , Kluyvera , Myroides , Streptococcus , Vagococcus , Staphylococcus , Acinetobacter , Psychrobacter , Lactobacillus , Weissella and Lactococcus in WF. The microbial community was more diverse in WF than in AF. Some bacterial groups were only found in wild-caught fish and may be studied as potential beneficial agents for improving production traits in farmed fish. As the first study of microbiota of P. adspersus , it provides significant information that can potentially help improve farming practices by using strains as species-specific probiotics.
