Figure 7: Network of bacterial taxa based on co-abundance of the 50 most abundant bacterial genera on all infected fish between samplings T0 and T3.

The abundance of the sea lice on each fish has been used as a factor. Each node represents a taxon or louse abundance. An edge between two samples indicates a Spearman correlation index >0.7 between the two samples and a correlation p-value corrected with Bonferroni <0.05. The size of each node is proportional to the number of edges to which it is connected. The two main clusters are labeled green (putative commensal) and red (putative pathogens). High lice abundance correlations refer to taxa which are positively correlated with lice abundance (Spearman correlation >0.6), whereas low lice abundance correlations refer to taxa negatively correlated with lice abundance (Spearman correlation <−0.6).
