Key Findings
- The study focused on the gut microbiota of wild and captive red-spotted groupers in southern China across four seasons
- Wild groupers had a more diverse and stable gut microbiota compared to captive groupers
- Seasonal changes significantly influenced the gut microbiota composition in both wild and captive groupers
