The microbiota, crucial to gut function, is increasingly studied as an indicator of health and nutritional status. This study characterized the gut microbiota of juvenile meagre () (initial weight 4.6 ± 0.4 g) fed for seven weeks on diets in which fishmeal (FM) and fish oil (FO) were replaced by increased proportions of plant-based ingredients, with the aim of identifying microbial profiles associated with nutritional challenge. Fish were fed a FM/FO control diet (CTRL; 55.1% FM, 11.3% FO), a low FM/FO diet (CD; 15% FM, 7% FO), or a very low FM/FO diet (ED; 5% FM, 5% FO). Next-generation sequencing analysis of gut mucosa and digesta revealed no significant differences in alpha or beta diversity among different dietary groups. dominated all samples, particularly , , , and .
