Temporal dynamics of protist communities  in the horizontal flow-seawater pond aquaculture model
The horizontal flow (HF)-seawter pond (SP) model has emerged as a new aquaculture model, attracting considerable attention. The growth of Sinonovacula constricta in the HF is highly dependent on the phytoplankton in the SP, however the current understanding of the basic microbial research remains insufficient. To address this knowledge gap, we analyzed the temporal dynamics of protist communities in water and sediment samples obtained from HF and SP in this study.
