  A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2016 to May 2017 on Oreochromis niloticus, Cyprinus carpio and Clarias gariepinus fish species at Lake Hayiq, North East Ethiopia with the objective of isolation and identification of major gram-negative bacterial pathogens of commonly catched fish species from Lake Hayik. A total of 98 live fishes (49 Oreochromis niloticus, 30 Cyprinus carpio and 19 Clarias gariepinus) were collected and transported to the laboratory. From the three fish species a total of 384 organ samples (96 skins, 98 gills, 94 intestines, 33 swim bladders, 19 kidneys, and 44 livers) were taken. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select the fish samples after drawn from the water. Among 384 fish organ samples 116 (30.2%) gram negative bacterial isolates were found: 9 (2.3%) Aeromonas species, 24 (6.3%) Pseudomonas species, 6 (1.6%) Enterobacter spe.. View More»
