Shotgun metagenomics data for phyla with at least 0.5% or more of the total reads. A Sankey diagram displaying each sample's prokaryotic and eukaryotic phyla. The prokaryotic phyla are the dominant group in each sample, with Proteobacteria as the most abundant group. Eukaryotic phyla consist of (1) Arthropods likely introduced via the feed, (2) Chordata represented by the farm-raised European perch (Perca fluviatilis), (3) Streptophyta, which consists of green algae and land plants and (4) Ascomycota, sac fungi, representing the largest phylum of fungi. B Relative abundance plots illustrate the community composition similarities and differences between replicates, sample types, and within-farm compartments. Notably, Proteobacteria are less abundant in biofilter water than in tank biofilm. Uppercase captions indicate that the phylum was detected in the other datasets; MS MiSeq, PB PacBio. Green diamonds represent tank biofilm samples, light blue triangles represent tank water, and dark blue triangles represent biofilter water
