Fig. 2

The water quality of two early life rearing systems and effect on individual body weight and gut microbiome of Nile tilapia at 15 days of feeding (dof). a water quality (pH, conductivity and total inorganic nitrogen) in system water during larval culture, b individual fish body weight, c alpha-diversity (richness and Shannon diversity index) of gut microbiome. Values are presented as mean ± standard error, the presence of different letters indicates the significant difference between systems (P < 0.05). d Venn diagram showing the shared amplicon sequence variants (ASV with prevalence > 33% in each treatment) between the gut microbiome from FTS and BFS. e principal component analysis (PCoA) showing the distribution of gut microbiome from FTS and BFS, P value was calculated based on one-way PERMANOVA. Capital letters refer to replicate tanks (A, B. C), numbers refer to fishes sampled for gut microbiome per tank (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). FTS, flow-through system; BFS biofloc system
