- Table summarises different beta diversity analysis outputs calculated by using different distances—phylogenetic (unweighted, balanced, and weighted UniFrac) and ecological (Bray–Curtis and Jaccard)—between samples fed on Fishmeal or Fishmeal-free diets. Numbers represent p values, with p values < 0.05 identifying statistically significant differences between compared groups. The comparisons are shown for three different subset datasets: Salmon (containing sequenced samples from real salmon), All SalmoSim (containing all samples from SalmoSim system excluding inoculum), and Stable SalmoSim (containing samples only from stable time points: 16, 18, and 20 fed on Fishmeal (once bacterial communities adapted to SalmoSim system), and 36, 38, and 40 fed on Fishmeal-free diet (once bacterial communities adapted to feed change). The asterisks flag the levels of significance: one asterisk (*) for p values between 0.05 and 0.01, two asterisks (**) for p values between 0.01 and 0.001, and three asterisks (***) for p values below 0.001
