Here, we describe the skin mucosa microbiome of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) before and after exposure to chloramine-T trihydrate. We also describe the aquaria water microbiome after the post-treatment period. These data provide a unique baseline description of skin mucosa and aquaria water microbiome from catfish reared in research aquaria.
