Convit Cichlid (Cichlasoma nigrofasciatum)’de Pseudomonas putida Enfeksiyonu Üzerine Albinism'in Etkisi

Abstract

In the present study, naturally infected albino convict cichlids (Cichlasoma nigrofasciatum) were examined bacteriologically. The result of the examination Puseudomonas putida was isolated from the fish. After this result, comparing the difference of this infection in normal and albino fish was aimed. So, the trial system for this purpose was established. Normal and albino fish were infected by the bacteria and the results were observed. At the end of the experiment, all albino fish were observed to have died due to infection. Whereas deaths were not observed in the normal fish. As a result, albino fish (Cichlasoma nigrofasciatum) were found to be more sensitive to Puseudomonas putida infection than normal fish.
