taken from PERMANOVA. Within tissue dietary effects on microbiota composition were only detected in the skin according to both weighted (p = 0.039) and unweighted UniFrac (E). Pairwise PERMANOVA showed the MOS and Coconut oil diets to significantly altering communities relative to the control in unweighted UniFrac (E)

Microbiota composition detected across mucosal tissues of Atlantic salmon fed diets supplemented with functional ingredients. Fish received a control diet (Control), a 1% mannan oligosaccharide supplementation (MOS), a 96% lipid replacement using coconut oil (CoconutOil) or a combination of the two treatments (CocoMOS). Alpha diversity was tested by two-way ANOVA with tissue showing global effects on richness (A) and Shannon diversity (B). Due to tissue-diet interactions, dietary effects on richness and diversity within each tissue were also tested by one-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s post-hoc (* p ≤ 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01, *** p ≤ 0.001). Beta diversity is displayed by tissue using principal co-ordinates analysis (PCoA) of weighted (C) and unweighted (D) UniFrac distances with statistical values
