Multi-omics investigation of iron-responsive idiopathic anemia in hybrid catfish (Ictalurus punctatus x I. furcatus)
Potential roles for the pond and hybrid catfish intestinal microbiome, and abnormal host gene expression in iron-responsive idiopathic catfish anemia (ICA) were investigated. Both shotgun and amplicon long-rad sequencing was applied to water samples and intestinal fish of fish collected from an ICA outbreak. Samples of the head kidney; liver; anterior, middle, and posterior sections of the intestines fish were utilized for short-read RNA sequencing.
