Microbiological Parameters in Brackish Water Pond used for Extensive and Semi-Intensive Fish-Culture: Acquatina

摘要: Up to now no specific legislation on water's microbiological characteristics in basins used for aquaculture is available; therefore, it very important monitor theirhygienic and sanitary quality. Fish inhabiting faecallypolluted bodies of water are often human consumption. Such fish can be contaminated by enteric pathogens may pose a potential risk public health. Aim the presentstudy was estimate level hygiene sanitation thebrackish basin Acquatina extensive semi-intensive fish-culture. Six sampling points were set up thefollowing parameters measured: total faecal coliforms, streptococci Salmonella spp. The highestlevel coliforms observed channels (Cardone 636 TC 100 mL-1, 305 FC mL-1 Giammatteo 267 229 mL-1) while concentration contaminants origin quitelow during whole year studied. Therefore, these results suggest that freshwater introduced could source contamination.
