Abstract

Samples of diseased Clarias macrocephalus cultured in ponds of the FFRC and in farmers' ponds in Melaka Peninsular Malaysia were collected for this study for the last two years 1986-1988. They were examined for parasites and bacteria. The results showed that bacterial diseases were more common. The main clinical and morphological signs of the diseases were described. The bacteria that were isolated and identified in order of importance were Aeromonas hydrophila Pseudomonas euroginosa Pseudomonas spp. Edwardsiella spp. Moraxella spp. Flavobacterium spp. Pasteurella spp. and gram ve bacteria such as Bacillus cereus and other entrobacteria. Possible prophylactic measures are also described.
