Abstract
Three hundred and eighty two samples consisting of iced and frozen fish products were
collected from 23 processing factories situated in Kerala and Tamil Nadu for studying the
incidence of pathogenic halophilic Vibrios. Halophilic Vibrios were isolated from 193 samples
(50.52%). 171 samples (44.76%) were found to be the carriers of pathogenic halophilic Vibrios.
Nine species of pathogenic halophilic Vibrios and nine species of non-pathogenic halophilic
Vibrios were isolated from these samples. Among pathogenic organisms, Vibrio cincinnatiensis
was found to be the dominant species (18.06%) followed by Vibrio alginolyticus (15.18%), Vibrio
parahaemolyticus (9.42%), Vibrio vulnificus (5.24%) etc. Vibrio harveyi was the major species
among non-pathogenic halophilic Vibrios (12.30%).
