Closely-related Photobacterium strains comprise the majority of bacteria in the gut of migrating Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)

Table 1 Characteristics of the six individual migrating Atlantic cod that were sequenced using shotgun sequencing with Illumina MiSeq instrument

Characteristics of the fish and feces that were sequenced with 300 bp paired-end sequencing using an Illumina Miseq instrument and the MiSeq Reagent kit v.3 (600 cycles). This table shows the ID of each fish used for the study and information about migrating Atlantic cod including the sex, weight and length, and information about the extracted feces including the weight of digestive tract and feces, feces color, and consistency
¹The presence of parasite was recorded under “other observations”
