Effects of alternative plant-based feeds on hepatic and gastrointestinal histology and the gastrointestinal microbiome of sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria)

Physiological assessments such as gastrointestinal microbiomes and histopathology can provide a near-term evaluation of the nutritional adequacy of alternative feeds, such as plant-based lipid diets for marine carnivorous finfish. This is the first examination of the microbiome of sablefish, a marine species under development for sustainable aquaculture.
