Viable counts in the intestinal contents, sediments and water were 8.9, 8.3 and 5.1 (log No/g or ml), respectively. Obligate anaerobes were predominant over the aerobic growth bacteria in intestines, and both were almost the same level in sediments and vice versa in water. Among the aerobic microflora, Aeromonas (0/129 risistant), Vibrio (0/129 sensitive isolates) and Pseudomonas spp became predominant in the intestines and sediments, whereas Flavobacterium, Acinetobacter (Moraxella), Aeromonas and Pseudomonas constituted the dominant genera in water. Most of the Aeromonas spp isolated from the intestines were distinctly different from Vibrio spp with respect to starch decompositions as well as 0/129 resistant and aerogenesis.}, pages = {235--242}, title = {Microflora in the Alimentary Tract of Tilapia II : Comparison among Microflora of Intestine, Sediment and Pond Water}, volume = {31}, year = {} }
