A Survey of Some Bacterial Fish Pathogens on Whiting (Merlangius merlanguseuxinus) in Eastern Black Sea Coast, Turkey

In the present study, a total of 180 whiting(Merlangius merlanguseuxinus) were caught in the Eastern BlackSea coast of Turkey and investigated through for six month period for their bacteria. The bacterial agents isolatedfrom fish were identified by Analytical Profile Index (API 20NE, 20E and rapid ID 32 Strep). Fifty-two bacteriawere further confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Nine bacterial species, Pseudomonas luteola,Staphylococcus equorum, Vibrio anguillarum, Pseudomonas putida, Acinetobacter johnsonii, Pseudomonasprotogens, Oceanisphaera profunda, Pseudomonas fluorescens,and Serratia fonticolawere identified. This studyis the first report on the bacteria of whitingin Turkey and provides significant information in terms of bacterialfish pathogens of this area.
