dc.description.abstractColiphages, the viruses that infect Escherichia coli, were frequently proposed as indicators to assess the quality of water. Their presence indicates not only the presence of pathogenic enteric bacteria but also enteroviruses. The present study was done with an objective to detect coliphages in fish and fishery environment. Coliphages were detected in a wide variety of samples viz., water from freshwater fish farm (2300 pfu/100ml), water from brackish water fish farm (300 pfu/100ml), water from brackish water prawn farm (5 pfu/100ml), farmed fresh water fish (240 pfu/g), marine fish (3500 pfu/g), shrimp (75 pfu/g) and lobster (240 pfu /g). Advantages of coliphage assay for hygiene and quality of fish are discussed.en_US
