Table 2 Differences in bacterial abundances between seasons within skin and gill mucus microbiota. LDA scores were calculated using Linear discriminant analysis Effect Size (LEfSe). Only bacterial taxa that raised an LDA score > 2 were included. Bacterial taxa significantly enriched during the same season for both skin and gill mucus microbiota are in bold
