Abstract

We report here a preliminary study on the interaction between two common enteric bacteria with the carp Cirrhinus mrigala, a major product of the sewage-fed fish-culture ponds of east Calcutta. The threshold concentration of bacteria in water above which they start appearing in fish muscle was determined. Beyond the threshold value, the concentration of bacteria in muscle varied linearly with the bacterial concentration in the water. A relationship was observed between the concentrations of bacteria in muscle and in the digestive tract with contents.
