dc.description.abstract |
Aquaculture is a global practice that entails the breeding of different fish species. It is
incessant in the Nigerian community as wastewater released from pond farms into
surrounding drainages and water bodies cause pollution. In this study, a comparative
analysis of the physico-chemical parameters (temperature, pH, salinity, conductivity,
Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), and microbial evaluation of
wastewater samples from concrete, plastic, wooden and earthen fish ponds located in Ogun
and Lagos states followed with antibiotics sensitivity profile of the isolates were
investigated. The values of temperature, pH, salinity, conductivity, DO and BOD of the
wastewaters ranged from 23.83 – 24.67 °C, 6.57 – 9.68, 0.08 – 0.26 ppt, 65.67 – 200.7
µS/cm, 0.67 – 1.63 mg/L and 36.67 – 253.3 mg/L, respectively. Aerobic plate count and
coliform count of bacteria isolated from different fish ponds wastewaters ranged from
6.40x105
to 4.20x106
cfu/mL and 2.80x103
to 1.98x105 cfu/mL, respectively. Enterococcus
spp., Staphylococcus spp, Streptococcus spp., and Micrococcus spp., Aeromonas spp.,
Chromobacterium spp., Escherichia spp., Klebsiella spp. Listeria spp., Pseudomonas spp.,
Proteus spp., Providencia sp., Shigella sp., and Salmonella spp. were isolated from different
ponds wastewaters. All selected bacterial isolates were susceptible to ciprofloxacin with
the exception of Streptococcus sp., Chromobacterium sp. and Providencia sp. Antibiotics
susceptibility pattern of isolated bacteria showed that most of the isolates had very high
rate of resistance to the common antibiotics which could pose danger to the environment.
The results obtained from this study suggests that control of wastewater release from fishpond farms to environment is necessary in other to maintain a stable environment, thereby
reducing pollution |
