Enhanced biodiversity of gut flora and feed efficiency in pond cultured tilapia under reduced frequency feeding strategies

results indicate that there are some community differences between the treatments in our study with PC1 explaining 11.89% of the variation between communities (Fig 6a and 6b). T1 and T5 (both fed daily) had the most similar profiles while T4 (fertilization only) was the most dissimilar. The variation between treatments indicates that there is some distinction between the microbial communities. Fig 3.
