The effect of captivity on the microbiome of spotted eagle rays (Aetobatus narinari) is modulated by body site and environmental exposure
Comparison of the microbiome from different body sites of captive and wild spotted eagle rays, and captive cow-nose rays. The samples include swabs collected from the cloaca, gill, and skin of rays, from which DNA was extracted. 16S rRNA amplicons were obtained from these DNA samples.
