Abstract
Four small identical tanks fed with power station effluent were each stocked with 10 × “1-group” plaice. The fish in each of the tanks were fed minced fish containing different binding agents. Bacteria were isolated from skin and intestinal samples of two fish taken from each tank. Five generic/group generic types were isolated from fish skin while ten types were isolated from fish intestines. Organisms belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae were isolated from both skin and intestines. The types isolated from intestines also included Aeromonas species (spp.). However, strict anaerobes were unable to be isolated.Keywords
