Abstract

The population of Vibrios in water and hepatopancreas of Penaeus monodon collected from modified extensive culture ponds situated at Raigad, Maharashtra were studied. All animals collected were associated with more than one Vibrio species. Bacterial identification showed presence of four species
of Vibrios namely, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, V. alginolyticus, V.
anguillarum and V. vulnificus. The overall CFU values of Vibrios noted for pond water were in the range of 1.8 x 101 to 7.8 x 104. The number of Vibrios increased with length of rearing time and the highest level was found on 122th day of culture. Diseased shrimps showed higher Vibrio count (8.3 x 106 cfu/g of
hepatopancreas) than healthy shrimp (2.6 x 106 cfu/g of hepatopancreas).
