Abstract

Crustaceans form the second largest subphylum on Earth, which includes Litopeneaus vannamei (Pacific whiteleg shrimp), one of the most cultured shrimp worldwide. Despite efforts to study the shrimp microbiota, little is known about it from shrimp obtained from the open sea and the role that aquaculture plays in microbiota remodeling. Here, the microbiota from the hepatopancreas and intestine of wild type (wt) and aquacultured whiteleg shrimp and pond sediment from hatcheries were characterized using sequencing of seven hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene. Cultured shrimp with AHPND/EMS disease symptoms were also included. We found that (i) microbiota and their predicted metagenomic functions were different between wt and cultured shrimp; (ii) independent of the shrimp source, the microbiota of the hepatopancreas and intestine was different; (iii) the microbial diversity between the sediment and intestines of cultured shrimp was similar; and (iv) associated to an early development of AHPND/EMS disease, we found changes in the microbiome and the appearance of disease-specific bacteria. Notably, under cultured conditions, we identified bacterial taxa enriched in healthy shrimp, such as Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Pantoea agglomerans, and communities enriched in diseased shrimp, such as Aeromonas taiwanensis, Simiduia agarivorans and Photobacterium angustum.

Figures

Figure 1 Shrimp sample collection and general microbiota characteristics. (a) Litopenaeus vannamei specimen collection points. Wt shrimp were collected from the Mexican Pacific area 5 km from the state coast (green star), while cultured shrimp were collected from hatchery ponds (orange star) located in the state of Sonora, Mexico. Healthy and AHPND/EMS-diseased shrimp were collected from ponds adjacent to each other. The map was created using the online edition of SmartDraw https://www.smartdraw.com/. (b) Anatomical location of the dissected hepatopancreas and intestine. Taxonomic diversity and abundance of all 24 of the sequenced samples at: (c) phylum; and (d) family levels.

The differences were significant (p < 0.05) among classes (Kruskal-Wallis test) and subclasses (Wilcoxon’s test). The threshold of the logarithmic LDA score was 2.0.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
