For this purpose, </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">the quality of influent and effluent of 7 trout farms located in Rize and Trabzon was determined in terms of bacteriological structure. </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;"> According to Multiple Tube Fermentation Techniques, while the highest total coliform level was calculated as 1380 EMS/100 ml, the highest fecal coliform level was 1100 EMS/100 ml. Generally, bacteriological qualities of the fish farm waters were classified as High Quality (Class 1) and slightly polluted (Class 2) in accordance to Quality Criteria of Inland Surface Water Resources of Turkish Surface Water Quality Regulation. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Bülent VEREP}
