“…; Gangadhara et al . ). Despite this, recent studies continue to claim based on either isolation or 16S rRNA gene characterization that the presence of cellulolytic bacteria in cyprinid intestines indicates a significant role for these organisms in the digestion of plant material within the fish intestinal tract (e.g.…”

High-throughput sequencing approaches have enabled characterizations of the community composition of numerous gut microbial communities, which in turn has enhanced interest in their diversity and functional relationships in different groups of vertebrates. Although fishes represent the greatest taxonomic and ecological diversity of vertebrates, our understanding of their gut microbiota and its functional significance has lagged well behind that of terrestrial vertebrates. In order to highlight emerging issues, we provide an overview of research on fish gut microbiotas and the biology of their hosts. We conclude that microbial community composition must be viewed within an informed context of host ecology and physiology, and that this is of particular importance with respect to research planning and sampling design.

“…This is supported by another finding of a similar protein level of 40% being optimal for grass carp fry [235]. Fingerling grass carp fed periphyton had a 71% protein digestibility, higher than hybrid red tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus × O. niloticus) and five cypriniform species [236]. A suitable diet for juvenile grass carp for growth and nutrient utilization is 33% digestible protein, 6% lipid, and 10.7 kJ/g digestible energy [237].…”

Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) are globally important in aquaculture and aquatic vegetation control. However, escaped grass carp have established invasive populations. A targeted keyword search was performed on a carp (order: Cypriniformes) literature database maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey to identify literature relevant to grass carp. Additional sources cited in reviewed documents and provided by numerous reviewers were also included. There were three focus areas designed to provide support for invasive grass carp management: (1) diet and behavior; (2) physiological constraints, toxicity, and biology; and (3) gut physiology. Each focus area provides information to guide development of potential pathways for invasive grass carp control. Information from other carp species was used to fill in gaps where grass carp information was lacking and provide additional, potential research directions. Diet-related information included food selection and aquacultural diet formulations. Behavioral information included stimuli and non-physical barriers to attract, repel, or stop movement. Physiological constraints, toxicology, reproductive control, and biological control provide a research review for control options. Gut physiology and related control pathways provide knowledge to improve toxin or pathogen delivery. This review provides a basis for developing approaches and research for controlling invasive grass carp populations, aquaculture, and native population management.
