Gut microbiota is an essential determinant factor that drives the physiological, immunological, and metabolic functions of animals. A few meta-analysis studies identified crucial information about the gut microbiota of vertebrate animals in different habitats including fish while no report is yet available for the commercially cultured decapod crustaceans (DC). This meta-analysis investigated the gut microbiota of 11 commercially cultured DC species from five different groups-crab, crayfish, lobster, prawn, and shrimp to gain an overview of microbial diversity and composition and to find out core genera under two different host habitats: freshwater and saltwater. The analysis of 627 Illumina datasets from 25 published studies revealed selective patterns of diversity and compositional differences among groups and between freshwater and saltwater culture systems. The study found a salinity-dependent heterogeneous response of gut microbiota, specificallyVibrioin saltwater for white shrimp, a species that can be cultured with and without salt. Overall, the genera reared in freshwater showed higher diversity in the gut microbial communities than those reared in saltwater. An overwhelming abundance ofCandidatusBacilloplasma andVibriowere identified for species cultured in freshwater and saltwater system, respectively and these two species were identified as the main core genera for nine out of 11 DC species, except freshwater prawn and river prawn. Together, these results demonstrate the effectiveness of the meta-analysis in identifying the robust and reproducible features of DC gut microbiota for different groups and host habitats. The diversity information curated here could be used as a reference for future studies to differentiate various DC species under two different rearing environments.
