Measures of bacterial alpha diversity in naïve and AGD affected salmon gill. Mean species richness (A) was higher in naïve smolt than both AGD groups, whilst diversity (B,C) were highest in Naïve fish, and significantly different between Naive and LB AGD groups. Black dots represent each individual sample point, unfilled diamond shape indicates outliers. P = global significance (Kruskall Wallis), pairwise significance determined by a Wilcoxon test with p < 0.05, p < 0.01 and p < 0.001 represented by *, **, and ***.
