Isolation of <em>Enterobacter agglomerans</em> from dolphin fish, <em>Coryphaena hippurus</em> L.

This article focuses on the isolation of Enterobacter agglomerans from dolphin fish, Coryphaena hippurus L. Mahi-mahi, or dolphin fish, Coryphaena hippurus L., is an attractive candidate for aquaculture in intensive systems. Juveniles can be produced in hatcheries in large numbers; the fish grows faster than other fish species traditionally held in captivity, and its feed conversion efficiency is very high. musculature. Blood was withdrawn aseptically from the kidney with a syringe, and plated on tryptic soy agar containing first, 2% Sodium chloride (NaCl), second, 2% NaCl and 3% human red blood cells, and third, 2% NaCl and 0-5% glucose. The plates were incubated at 16 degree celcius.
