Abstract
The importance of gut microbiome in various function of host physiology, modulation of this microbiome is a possible strategy to reduce the emerging diseases in aquaculture industry. The gut microbiome not only reinforces the immune systems in fish but is itself shaped by several host-associated factors. Unfortunately, the majority of studies have focused upon the structure of fish gut microbiome providing little knowledge of effects of these factors distinctively and the immune functional potential of the gut microbiome. In this review, we have highlighted the recently gained insight into the diversity and functions of the fish gut microbiome. The literature reviewed indicated that the future research should shifted functional microbiomics to improve the maximum sustainable yield in aquaculture.
