Description
Summary:Abstract Large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) is a highly economically important marine fish species in China. However, substantial individual variations in growth performance have emerged as a limiting factor for the sustainable development of the large yellow croaker industry. Gut microbiota plays a crucial role in fish growth and development by regulating metabolic processes. To explore these dynamics, we employed metagenomics, transcriptomics, and untargeted metabolomics to comprehensively analyze the structure of the intestinal microbiome and its relationship with intestinal metabolism and host gene expression. We constructed association models for “gut microbiota–differentially expressed genes”, “differentially expressed genes–metabolites,” and “gut microbiota–metabolites.” Sequencing data and LC–MS/MS raw data have been deposited in NCBI and MetaboLights databases for public access. Our findings offer critical insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying growth variations in L. crocea and provide valuable data for the selective breeding of improved strains.
