"A fish's health is a reflection of its environment Healthy waters produce healthy fish While understanding how environmental factors like pollution affect fish populations can be extremely difficult researchers are beginning to find answers by exploring the one feature that separates fish from their environment their skin The diverse microbial community that resides on fish's skin is like a living almanac recording entire histories of environmental changes, both good and bad Using genetic barcoding, researchers recently discovered how human disturbances are imprinted by the microbiota on fish skin For streams along the Jordan River, the team found that nutrient dumping was linked to the abundance of certain bacteria namely, Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes providing one way of finding sites affected by transient nutrient pollution This powerful new method could be critical in gauging the status of both fish and the water they inhabit as the microbial communities that thrive on fish skin capture environmental.."
