Microbiological characteristics of fish reared in purified wastewater from an abattoir

Wastewater from abattoirs in some countries is disposed of into water bodies without adequate removal contaminants. Therefore, the use wastewater fish production could pose a serious risk for humans, and other aquatic organisms due to possible transfer pathogenic bacteria culture environments. The aims present study were assess levels individual microorganisms different tissues common carp determine any correlation with season sampling type analysed sample reared an integrated system that used purified abattoir. A pond was filled mostly abattoir, but also partly well water. Carp fingerlings stocked earthen fishpond March ambient conditions. Fish collected spring autumn following year microbiological quality assessed. fillets skin, gills digestive tract samples individually under aseptic All analyses performed according standard procedures. all examined prescribed hygiene norms. Also, Listeria spp., sulphite-reducing clostridia Staphylococcus aureus not found samples. Furthermore, bacteria, Salmonella monocytogenes isolated hygienic produced waste abattoir acceptable, meat safe human consumption.
