Abstract

This dissertation explores the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) to explore microbial ecology patterns and for pathogen surveillance, with a focus on recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). While eDNA has transformed the study of microbial communities, gaps persist in understanding functional composition and interactions in complex ecosystems. The semi-controlled nature of RAS facilitates the exploration of microbial dynamics, making it an ideal system for studying microbiome-governed processes with implications for animal health.
