Investigation of the hypothesis of microbial imbalance as the root cause of diseases using the example of the fish farming industry
Abstract
The article describes the results of bacteriological analysis of sludge samples from fish farm ponds exhibiting erythro like lesions in fish. The samples revealed the presence of microorganisms of the genus Pseudomonas at concentrations up to 3,4∙10 6 CFU/g. According to the research data obtained from the fish farms, an elevated nitrogen concentration was detected in the pond water. A hypothesis has been proposed regarding the interrelation between the concentration of Pseudomonas genus microorganisms in the sludge, the nitrogen concentration, and the presence of lesions in the fish. An attempt was made to influence the soft sludge in a fish farm pond using the preparation «BioFermentIl».
