ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF PATHOGENIC BACTERIA OF RAINBOW TROUT FISH IN KERMAN PROVINCE

Background and Aim:Aquaculture industry is very important to produce nearly one-third of the world’s seafood supplies. One of the biggest problems in this industry is infectious bacterial disease, which effect livelihoods of communities causing heavy financial that production loses and a subsequent decrease in food availabilityMethods:. pathogenic bacteria from 120 samples belonging to 10 rainbow trout populations from different localities of kerman province were isolatedResults:Cold-water fish have mostly gram-negative bacteria in their biota. Commonly appearing bacteria genera are Acinetobacter sp, Aeromonas hydrophila . Gram-positive organisms such as Bacillus, Micrococcus, and Corynebacterium can also be found in rainbow trout.Conclusion:The results of the study open up the opportunity to perform further investigations which could determine the possible role of temprature in fish pathogens.
