摘要： Starvation stress can profoundly impact various physiological parameters in fish, including metabolism, behavior, meat quality, and reproduction. However, the repercussions of starvation on the intestinal microbiota of grass carp remain under-explored. This research aimed to elucidate the effects of a 28-day starvation period on the composition of the intestinal microbiota of grass carp. Tissue pathology assessments revealed significant alterations in the dimensions of intestinal villi in the foregut, midgut, and hindgut as compared to the controls. Specifically, dominant differences appeared in both the length and width of the villi. Moreover, a marked decline in the goblet cell population was observed across all the intestinal segments. 16S rDNA sequencing was used to investigate changes in the gut microbiota, which revealed distinct clustering patterns among the starved and control groups. While alpha diversity metrics remained consistent for the anterior intestine, significant deviations were recorded in the Shannon (midgut: ***P < 0.001; hindgut: *P < 0.05) and Simpson indices (midgut and hindgut: ***P < 0.001), demonstrating alterations in microbial richness and evenness. At the phylum level, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Fusobacteria emerged as dominant groups post-starvation. Other bacterial taxa, such as Actinobacteria and Verrucomicrobia, decreased, whereas Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes showed a small increase. In summation, starvation induces considerable morphological and microbial shifts in the grass carp intestine, and thus, this study offers valuable insights into their cultivation strategies.
