The investigation of bacteria, parasite and fungi in blue crabs (callinectes sapidus, rathbun 1896) caught from Akyatan lagoon in east Mediterranean Sea
Abstract
Bacteria,
parasites and fungus in blue crabs (Callinectes
sapidus) caught from Akyatan Lagoon in East Mediterranean Sea, Adana,
Turkey were investigated. Total 501 crab samples were used and average length
and weight were 13.1-14.4cm and 141.2-293.8g, respectively. Total 21 bacteria
belonging to 14 different genera which are Acinetobacter
baumannii, Acinetobacter lwoffii,
Aeromonas cavaie, Aeromonas hydrophila,
Serratia rubidea, Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio
vulnificus, Vibrio mimicus, Citrobacter frendii, Enterobacter aerogenes,
Enterobacter cloacae, Esherichia vulneris, Klebsiella phenmonaie, Klebsiella
oxytoca, Moraxella sp., Proteus
mirabilis, Pseudomonas sp., Micrococcus
sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus
sp., were isolated from 301 craps samples. Parasites that are Ichthyophthiris multifilis, Cryptobia sp., Trypanosoma sp., Cloronorchis
sp.’s metacerceria, amoeboid trofont to belong Hematodinium sp., Metacestoda, spore of Microsporidans, Ameson
sp., Trematodes metacerceria were identified whereas fungus that are Oospore
and Lagenidium sp. Zoospore were
found in the blue crabs samples.
