Description:
Sixty apparently healthy Heterobranchus bidorsalis and Clarias anguillaris from NIFFR were cultured and 30 each from Monai and wara villages as wild environments were obtained for the studies. The total bacterial load varied from 2.2 x l05 to 1.08 x l08 and 2.27 x 105 to 6.3 x l08 CFU/g of the skin of C. anguillaris and H.bidorsalis in the culture respectively, while the load varied from 1.77 x 105 to 1.17 x l08 and 2.27 x 105 to 9.0 x l07 CFU/g in the wild respectively. Eleven bacterial general species were identified which include: Bacillus species B.firmus, Pseudomonas species, P. aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella aerogenes, K. ozaenae, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus species, S.faecalis, and Aeromonas species. The aims of this investigation is to compare the type and the load of bacteria isolates on the skin of catfish in both culture and wild environment.
