Abstract

Four isolates of clinical Vibrio parahaemolyticus were isolated three from diseased seabass Lates calcarifer one from diseased grouper Epinephelus tauvina and six environmental isolates were obtained from shrimp pond brackishwaters. All isolates were identified based on their cellular and colonial morphologies biochemical and physiological characteristics in combination with BBL crystal identification system. The isolates showed slight variations in vibriostat 0/129 test. One clinical strain was sensitive to both 10 and 150 g but were sensitive to 150 g discs. Temperature tolerance showed slight variations where 80 of the isolates could withstand up to 48C. Other morphological biochemical and physiological characteristic were identical between the clinical (diseased fish) and environmental (brackishwater ponds) strains.
