| Abstract | ||||
| A total of 20 angelfish were microbiologically investigated to determine the role of pathogenic and potentially pathogenic as well as water saprophytic microbes in causing the high mortalities among aquarium fish. - stlog The bacteriological examination revealed the isolation of 4 species de Gaur as including Aeromonas hydrophilia, A. sobria, Pseudomonas aeruginosaur o t and Staph. epidermidis from the surface gills and internal organs of a the examined fish. Das AH BU BEHAD super T Heat Identification of the fungal isolates revealed the recovery of 3 different species mainly Saprolegnia diclina, Achly sp. and Aspergillus flavusam from the surface and gills of the fish. Three parasitic isolates comprising of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, Henneg uya sp. and Gyrodactylus sp. were recovered from the skin and gills of the examined specimens. 19 mai spus The role of the microbial evaluation of the water samples indicating that water may act as one of the most important sources of infection and contamination of fish with bacteria and fungi. | ||||
